2011 categories
• Innovation Award – for a new idea,
improvement or innovation. This may
include new projects which improve services
to clients, involve the community, work in
partnership, and expand your services or
range of food options.
• Working with the Workforce – outstanding
work with volunteers or staff. This may
include projects which assist to recruit
volunteers, recognise volunteer or staff skills
and development. Could also be a training
resource, a volunteer support group or
staffing innovation.
Nominations will be assessed by the invited
members of the NSW Meals on Wheels
Association Board of Governors. These
members are not associated with any members
or services. Applications are given to the
members of the panel without identifying
names for assessment. Each category may have
more than one award given.
In 2012 a new category will be added which
will be looking for any Green/Sustainable
initiatives.

Older Australians, their families, and carers
will now find it easier to access valuable
information about aged care. On 1 July 2011,
there will be a new single information line at
this phone number:
1800 200 422
The new national phone number will include a
range of existing 1800 numbers and will act as
a new single point of entry for people seeking
information and access to aged care services.
This is a further action in a series of steps to
simplify the many and sometimes confusing
sources of information for aged care services.
As well as this single national information line,
improvements have been made to the aged
care website of the Department of Health and
Ageing:
www.agedcareaustralia.gov.au
