Since 2005 RWAV, with the support of the Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services, has proudly hosted the awards to recognise the significant role of health professionals contributing to the well-being of our Victorian rural communities.
Among the nominees, the awards will celebrate rural general practitioners, medical specialists, nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals working across rural Victoria.
This year the Victorian Rural Health Awards will be an online event, with winners being announced on the night. The event is open to all who wish to join us in celebrating the amazing contribution of health professionals to our rural communities.RSVP for the 2020 Victorian Rural Health Awards
