The MSWA End of Year Celebration: Shining a spotlight on our stars

Our 2024 award winners.

Set beneath the stars at The Maali in Perth Zoo, the MSWA End of Year Festive Celebration was a fantastic opportunity for staff to come together, celebrate, and thank the hardworking individuals who have supported Clients and each other throughout 2024. 

For this celebration, we received a record-breaking 370 award nominations from both peers and Clients, highlighting the incredible staff members we currently have working at MSWA. 

Bradly Burls was honoured with the Difference Maker Award for the year, a particularly special recognition as the award was nominated by a Client or Client’s relative. This award recognizes the significant impact and positive difference he has made in a Client's life.

Read one of Bradly’s well-deserved nominations: 

"Brad has been not only been my support worker but a friend as well. He consistently helps me fulfill my goal of keeping active. When I had difficulty walking, he would walk slowly by my side encouraging me. Now my walking has improved, he doesn't complain when we walk 6.5km - he comes ready with umbrella, sunscreen or hat. He is always on time and always engaged.” 

We're incredibly proud of our team for are making a real difference in West Aussies lives and thank you everyone for putting forward submissions. 

A huge congratulations to all our amazing End of Year Award finalists and winners!
