2026 EMHS Excellence Symposium

Read the 2026 Excellence Symposium booklet here.

In August, the 2026 EMHS Excellence Symposium provided an opportunity to celebrate services and initiatives that strive to deliver on our purpose – Healthy people, amazing care; Koorda moort, moorditj kwabadak – and reflect our value of excellence.

Our keynote speaker was Amy Carter-James, once named UK’s Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year. Her first venture at age 22, was building an eco-lodge in Mozambique which pulled 60,000 people out of poverty. She led community health programs on malaria, nutrition and HIV prevention in rural areas, learning how grassroot interventions can deliver value for money. She now lives in WA and still builds ventures that drive real change.

Across East Metro, we have our own stories of finding new ways to tackle problems. Read about the breadth of projects underway to streamline services, taking new approaches to traditional ways of doing things, and making the most of our staff expertise.

The future of our health service is being built on the excellent work being done today.  

Join us in acknowledging those who continuously strive for our value of excellence within EMHS.
