ACCV held its inaugural State awards for excellence last night. Click here to see a full list of finalists and winners.
The ‘seal’ for the best organisation in ACCV’s inaugural State Awards for Excellence. This year it went to Baptcare.
Over 200 industry representatives and guests attended the inaugural ACCV State Awards for Excellence dinner at Crown last night.
The association’s CEO Gerard Mansour described it as an outstanding evening.
“All the finalists blew the house down,” he said. “But the three volunteer finalists simply stole the show.
“Tonight aged care was the winner.”
In a new initiative for the industry, all finalists and winners received special ‘seals’ of recognition which they will be able to display at their facilities and on their correspondences and marketing materials.
“These ‘seals’ set a new benchmark for both finalists and the winner,” said Mr Mansour.
