A huge congratulations to Mrs Amelia Burman on being named the winner of the Rural Practice Management Award at the 2026 Victorian Rural Health Awards!
This well-deserved recognition is a testament to Amelia’s exceptional leadership, dedication and commitment to supporting high-quality healthcare in rural Victoria. Her passion for strengthening general practice and improving outcomes for rural communities has made a lasting impact, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her recognised.
As Amelia now begins her maternity leave, we also want to wish her and her family all the very best for this exciting new chapter. We hope these final weeks of pregnancy are filled with good health and happiness, and we wish her a safe delivery and the arrival of a healthy baby.
Congratulations once again, Amelia, and thank you for everything you do. We look forward to welcoming you back when the time is right!
