Aged Care Industry Association (ACIA) Chief Executive Officer Luke Westenberg says it was great to see so many nominations for the awards.

“It is a reflection of the commitment and hard work that happens every day in our aged care industry, and of the unsung heroes who improve older Australians’ lives every day.”
Mr Westenberg also extended his thanks to all nominees, as well as winners, for their hard work adding that it is the “foundation of our aged care industry”.
