The Aged & Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA) has announced the winners of its inaugural Excellence Awards, marking Aged Care Employee Day on August 7, 2024.
Out of 48 finalists, three Greek winners were honoured for their exceptional work and dedication.
In the organisation category, the Greek Orthodox Community Home For The Aged in New South Wales was awarded for ‘Excellence,’ while Fronditha Care in Victoria was awarded for ‘Making a Difference.’
In the individual category, the 2024 ACCPA Excellence Award for ‘Volunteer’ was received by Nickolas Makrynakis from Fronditha Care in Victoria. Nickolas has been a volunteer at Fronditha Care where he has used his musical talents to entertain older residents in the five years since the loss of his wife.
ACCPA CEO Tom Symondson said he is “delighted our inaugural ACCPA Excellence Awards provides another opportunity to thank these everyday heroes for their dedication and service.”
