Join us for this inaugural event!
We are thrilled to announce that the inaugural Australian Pride in Health + Wellbeing Awards will be held in Sydney on Wednesday 30th of March 2022.
This event recognises the achievements across the health, wellbeing, human services, and community care sector, measured through the Health + Wellbeing Equality Index (HWEI). Previously we had celebrated with Pride in Diversity at the Australian LGBTQ Inclusion Awards, but we are now celebrating separately.
Celebrating best practice, innovation and person-centred care, awards will be given to the Gold Service Providers, Most Improved Service Provider, and the much anticipated, Service Provider of the Year.
We will also debut our individual awards, HWEI Health Ally Award, HWEI Out Role-Model Award, and the HWEI Health Innovation Award.
Tickets will go on sale in January, with an option of livestream tickets available for those unable to attend in person.
For more information please monitor our website, and be sure to join our mailing lists for further updates!

Nominate your organisation for a HWEI Award
Has your organisation done something innovative that’s worth celebrating? Do you know of an individual who has gone above and beyond to be an out-role model or an ally for the LGBTQ community?
Nominations are now open for organisations, teams, and individuals who have done exceptional work within the health and wellbeing sector.
There is no limit to the number of awards you can nominate for, so if you have multiple individuals who are deserving of an award, we would love to have you nominate them!
For more information, please click on the links below, noting that nominations close Tuesday 1st February 2022 at 11:59 pm.
HWEI Health Ally Award
This nomination recognises the outstanding contribution of an individual within your organisation who does not personally identify as LGBTQ, but who has made a significant contribution to LGBTQ inclusion for staff and service users within your organisation and across the health, wellbeing and human services sector.
HWEI Out Role-Model Award
This nomination is for an “out” LGBTQ individual within your organisation, who has actively advocated for and promoted an outstanding contribution to LGBTQ inclusion within the organisation and/or for service users, patients, and clients.
It celebrates role models for being visible to our community.
HWEI Health Innovation Award
This nomination celebrates the innovation we see in LGBTQ inclusion initiatives across the sector.
Due to the wide variety of services and organisational size, innovation is often required to ensure LGBTQ inclusion is appropriate to the industry, region, and client cohort.
