2024 Health Equity Awards

Adelaide PHN’s inaugural 2024 Health Equity Awards was held on Saturday, 31 August at the Festival Centre.

The 2024 Awards

We celebrated our 2024 Health Equity Awards, a night dedicated to honouring the exceptional primary health care providers in our region, who are paving the way for a healthier and more equitable healthcare system.

The event was attended by Member for Boothby Louise Miller-Frost MP, State Minister for Health and Wellbeing Chris Picton, and Multicultural Communities Council of SA CEO Helena Kyriazopoulos, who delivered powerful keynote speeches on health equity.

Guiding us through the evening was award-winning journalist, producer, and presenter Caroline Winter, who returned as our MC to ensure a memorable night. The evening's tone was set with an engaging Welcome to Country by Robert Taylor, Didgeridoo Player David Booth, and the Imbala Dance Group. Their performance reminded us of the profound connection between health, culture, and community.
