Meet our judges
The Patients Australia Awards are judged by a respected panel of industry leaders and subject matter experts, with two jurors assigned to each category. Judging takes place in two stages. Jurors review the shortlisted nominations before submitting individual scores based on the official judging criteria to determine the winner. We warmly welcome entries that may include our sponsors and are deeply grateful for their support. However, sponsorship plays no role in the judging process and has no influence on outcomes.
