Each year, the Minister for Health and Wellbeing Excellence in Public Health Awards celebrate outstanding contributions to public health by local governments across South Australia.
The Awards showcase councils' essential and often unseen roles in supporting community health and wellbeing through public health action.
There are two categories, one for regional councils and another for metropolitan councils. Winning and highly commended councils from each category are selected by a panel of public health experts.
Thank you to all the councils that submitted a nomination for this year’s Awards and congratulations to the winning and highly commended councils.
