Our 2021 People’s Choice Award nominees

By Indi Fillery

Marketing & Communications Coordinator

In March, our Customer Reference Group invited Therapy Focus customers, their families and support networks to nominate therapists and therapy teams for our 2021 People’s Choice Award.

The annual award aims to recognise exceptional service delivery and celebrate Therapy Focus employees who have demonstrated our guiding principles. Nominations closed 26 April and we are delighted to announce that we received 74 nominations. Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination and helped acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our team.

Our Customer Reference Group (CRG) will review all nominations in May/June and select three finalists. The Therapy Focus employee or therapy team chosen as the winner will be presented with the award and a $2,000 cash prize at Therapy Focus’ Gala Ball in October. The person who submitted the winning nomination will be invited to attend the event and help present the award.

Congratulations to our nominees!
