2020 Stroke Awards winners announced!
The Stroke Foundation Stroke Awards recognise the incredible stroke survivors, carers, volunteers and health professionals who continually go above and beyond to make a positive difference for people with stroke.
The calibre and variety of the entries we received for the Stroke Awards this year from all around Australia is outstanding. We are in awe of the nominees, finalists and winners, who have all demonstrated such passion, dedication and selflessness to make life better for stroke survivors and their families and to reduce the burden of stroke on our community.
We thank each and every individual nominated for an award for their contribution and support, and we congratulate the winners for their remarkable achievements.
None of these individuals ask for a pat on the back. But we want them to know their actions are appreciated and they are all integral in the Stroke Foundation mission to prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.
