About the Award

The Doctors Health Advisory Service Western Australia (DHASWA) is an independent not-for-profit association, and one of a network of state and territory-based doctors’ health organisations. Its purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of the medical profession in the public interest for the benefit of the community. 

This Award, also known as Jonathan Morling Doctors’ Health Champion of the Year Award is given to an individual who, in the opinion of the selection panel, has done the most to champion the cause of doctors’ and medical student health in Western Australia in the previous calendar year. 

Any individual from either within or outside of the profession is eligible. Nominations may be made by a member of the medical profession, a member of the public, or a member of one of the medical bodies.
