Recognising outstanding care providers in the NR Times Awards

Exceptional care can make a profound difference to the lives of people living with brain and spinal injuries, as well as those with complex care needs.

The Care Provider of the Year Award has been created to recognise providers that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred care and achieving meaningful outcomes for the people they support.

The award is looking for providers that have consistently gone above and beyond in their work, demonstrating the expertise, compassion and dedication needed to deliver exceptional care.

Who deserves to be recognised?

The award is open to nominations for care providers that can demonstrate a genuine commitment to going beyond expectations.

That could mean introducing new approaches to care, responding creatively to complex needs, supporting someone through a particularly challenging period or consistently delivering an exceptionally high standard of care.

The strongest nominations will demonstrate not only what the provider does, but the difference that work has made to the people receiving its services.

Importantly, nominations do not have to come from the provider itself. Families, colleagues, case managers and clients can all nominate a care provider they believe has made a genuine difference.

This means the award provides an opportunity for people who have experienced exceptional care first-hand to ensure that the organisations responsible receive the recognition they deserve.
