Award winners at the Administrative Professionals Awards
Celebrating Administrative Professionals Day Administrative professionals from across Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) were recognised at the 2026 Administrative Professionals Day Awards, celebrating their vital contribution to the health service. Held nationally on the first Friday of May, the day acknowledges the essential role administrative staff play in supporting services and patient care. The NSLHD event brought teams together from across the district to recognise achievements, celebrate award recipients and thank staff for their ongoing dedication. This year’s celebration was delivered as a hybrid event from Royal North Shore Hospital’s Kolling Auditorium, with staff joining both in person and online. The program also featured presentations on the upcoming rollout of the Single Digital Patient Record, as well as practical strategies for managing workplace stress, highlighting the importance of supporting staff wellbeing. Administrative professionals play a critical role in ensuring services remain organised, efficient and responsive to patient needs and support clinical teams across all settings. NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri thanked staff for their professionalism and commitment. “Your work plays a key role in ensuring our services are organised, efficient and productive,”
