2015 | Rosie Lew

This year the award recipient was Ms Rosie Lew who works for cohealth at the Innerspace Primary Health Care Centre in Collingwood.

Rosie was selected for this award because of the dedication that she has shown for over a decade in the delivery of health care services, particularly needles and syringes, to clients who are often street-based and marginalised.

Rosie goes out of her way to be friendly and welcoming to all clients and makes an effort to acknowledge everyone who comes through the door at Innerspace.

Rosie was the initial peer worker when the Healthy Living Clinic started delivering Hep C testing, treatment and support to clients at Innerspace.
