The SWOTY's is a grand gala that pays tribute to outstanding support workers who have truly excelled in their health science studies and as dedicated members of Ascend Health. It's not only a celebration of the exceptional care you provide to participants, but it's also a testament to your unwavering commitment to our organisation's values and mission.
Stay tuned as we announce the location of the afterparty. After a successful post-SWOTY's gathering in 2024, join the crew to take the celebrations long into the night.
This event is open to everyone, regardless of whether you attend the SWOTY's. So let your friends know that you'll be hanging with the Ascend crew late on Friday night.
The Andrews Award recognises support workers who have shown remarkable growth in the early stages of their health/therapy-related careers.
It's not about where you start but the significant personal, professional, and member-focused progress achieved.
The Squire Medal is awarded to the support worker that consistently and thoroughly goes above and beyond to create a supportive environment towards colleagues or members and their family/friends.
The Squire Medal is the pinnacle of recognition for outstanding support workers, acknowledging the individuals who stand out as top-tier team members, excelling in support work, team leadership, or therapy assistance.
Be among the first organisations to engage with highly experienced undergraduate therapy students with extensive experience in NDIS.
Students working with Ascend Health typically graduate with three times more community NDIS experience than those who solely rely on university placements.
Students with Ascend Health are therefore better prepared to enter community health work when they graduate.
Sponsoring the Support Worker Of The Year awards will put your organisation front of mind for when these allied health students graduate.
