Rural Health Alliance Friends look for unsung heroes (and heroines)

There are many people who work tirelessly for their rural or remote communities and contribute greatly on issues about which they are passionate.

Rural and remote communities are much richer for their contribution, yet we often do not know who they are.

They might be the quiet achiever, the volunteer, or the worker who constantly goes above and beyond their normal role to contribute to their community.

The purpose of the Friends’ Unsung Hero Award is to recognise these grassroots people who have made a significant contribution to the health of their remote, Indigenous or rural community.
