The WA Disability Support Awards celebrate the significant contribution of individuals and teams who support people with disability to achieve their goals. They recognise and reward people who go beyond ordinary standards of service and provide the highest standard of individualised support to people with disability. The Awards also provide an opportunity to recognise excellence in leadership and innovation to continuously improve disability supports and create better outcomes.

This year the seven award categories are:

• Emerging Leader
• Excellence in Home and Family Support
• Excellence in Innovation
• Excellence in Regional Support
• Excellence in Rights Promotion – Supporting Choice, Control and Capacity Building
• Excellence in Supporting Employment Outcomes
• Excellence in Supporting Inclusion and Citizenship

Depending on the award category, nominees can be individuals, a team, or an organisation. The nomination form and guidelines can be downloaded from the Disability Support Awards website.

NDS recently chatted with 2016 Award Winner Renae Hartmann about how the award helped propel her career in the disability sector. View the video of the interview with Renae.
