Allied Health Professional Award

Established in 2018, the Allied Health Professional Award honours an individual who has demonstrated exceptional dedication to improving care for people living with ALS/MND.

To be considered for the award, candidates must:

  • Be an allied health professional working directly with people living with ALS/MND
  • Demonstrate a commitment to delivering exceptional, person-centred care
  • Contribute to the sharing of expertise and innovative practices within the ALS/MND community
  • Play a significant role in improving clinical management and care outcomes for people affected by the disease

The award is presented annually during the Allied Professionals Forum. If no suitable candidate is nominated in a given year, the award will not be granted. Please note that current Board of Directors are not eligible for nomination.

The 2026 nomination period is closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination.
