Western Health Foundation Staff Grants

Each year in October, Western Health unites to celebrate the fantastic research and quality improvement work from across the entire organisation. The Research and Best Care Conference was formalised in 2019, bringing together the terrific work of Research Week and Best Care Awards. For several years, these two streams have provided awards in recognition of work undertaken across our healthcare divisions, made possible by the support of corporate partners.

Thanks to our corporate partners, in 2020 the Foundation was able to offer grants of up to $5000 to Western Health staff, including clinical and non-clinical teams and individuals, for the following activities.

• Professional development
