CAA Awards For Excellence

The CAA Awards for Excellence returned in 2021 after having to take a break in 2020 due to the demands of COVID-19.

The 2021 Awards saw a total of 31 entries from nearly all of our member services As always the quality of programs submitted was outstanding and feedback from our judges was overwhelmingly positive.

While we did not get to celebrate the winners in person at our annual Awards for Excellence Gala Dinner, we made the finalists and winner announcements through live videos across CAA digital platforms giving services the chance to celebrate their successes.

Queensland Ambulance Service took out the coveted STAR Award win after securing the win in Excellence in the Clinical Practice category with their Stroke Pre-hospital Informed Decision-Making using EEG Recordings project.
