HESTA

The founder of a global exercise approach for people with Parkinson’s Disease, an organisation supporting young mothers and a specialist housing and healthcare medical practice team were last night revealed as the 2022 winners for the HESTA Impact Awards.

HESTA CEO Debby Blakey congratulated Zoe Support Australia (Mildura VIC), The Haymarket Foundation Medical Practice team (Chippendale NSW) and Melissa McConaghy (Artarmon NSW), who each took home $10,000 in prize winnings.

“The positive and lasting impact these health and community services professionals are having on Australians’ lives is simply extraordinary,” Ms Blakey said.

“Inequality doesn’t just affect health and wellbeing; it can contribute to poorer retirement outcomes. That’s why it’s so important to recognise those who are working to close these gaps.

“Congratulations to our winners and finalists, and of course a huge thank you to everyone who has helped shine a spotlight on their important work.”

HESTA’s insurance partner, AIA Australia, is supporting the 2022 Awards, which aim to recognise health and community services professionals nationally who are having a positive impact on society, the economy and planet.

“AIA Australia celebrates the winners of this year’s HESTA Impact Awards,” AIA Australia Chief Shared Value and Marketing Officer Stephanie Phillips said.

“It’s been wonderful to learn about the passion, energy and drive of people in our community who are committed to make a difference in the lives of others.”
