Queensland s unsung heroes recognised during International Year of Health and Care Workers

Date Time Queensland’s unsung heroes recognised during International Year of Health and Care Workers Anglicare Southern Queensland has marked International Year of Health and Care Workers by recognising the achievements of staff and volunteers who provide vital support for vulnerable Queenslanders. More than 200 staff members, volunteers and clients gathered at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre recently for the not-for-profit charity’s inaugural Excellence Awards. Anglicare SQ’s Executive Director Karen Crouch said it was important for people working in the health and community services sector to recognise the contributions they make in our local communities. “As a provider of essential care and support services for vulnerable people, our work never stops. We are all so focused on the needs of our clients, residents, children and families, that reflecting on our own achievements is often not top of mind,” Ms Crouch said.
