This week, we came together for the 2026 eHealth NSW Awards to celebrate the people and teams whose expertise and dedication are helping make healthcare safer, simpler and more connected for patients, carers and clinicians.
It was also a powerful reminder that technology alone does not solve healthcare’s hardest challenges. People do ❤️
This year’s winners and finalists are strengthening critical infrastructure and cyber resilience, helping clinicians access the information they need, reducing language barriers for patients, and making it easier for people to raise concerns about their care.
Their work spans technology, data and design, but is united by a shared purpose: improving care for people across New South Wales.
Congratulations to every winner and finalist. Thank you for the passion, care and professionalism you bring to your work and for the difference you make every day.

These achievements are made possible through close collaboration with Local Health Districts, the Ministry of Health, NSW Ambulance, the Clinical Excellence Commission, the NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation, universities, community organisations and many others across NSW Health.
Finally, we were especially proud to recognise Joan Grillo at the awards, as she prepares to retire after 53 years with NSW Health.
Joan’s career began in nursing and midwifery at Auburn, Bankstown, Liverpool and Westmead hospitals. She later spent 25 years in health technology, including 15 years supporting and guiding colleagues as they built their careers in digital health.
Thank you, Joan, for the love and care you have given to so many people, and for the incredible legacy you leave behind 👏
