PNDU Awards

PNDU Awards are a way of recognising the great work of members in their efforts for PNDU, as well as health professionals and industry in their dedication to providing high quality care for those living with Home Parenteral Nutrition in Australia and New Zealand.

Any PNDU member can nominate (please go to PNDU Award Nominations page).  The winners are announced at PNDU’s Annual General Meeting in mid-August.  See below for our Roll of Honour.

Please note, in view of PNDU’s 10th Birthday celebrations in 2019, and as part of that, the recognition of the great work of HPN hospital care teams of all PNDU HPN members by way of Certificates of Appreciation, PNDU Awards will not be held in 2019.  We look forward to holding PNDU Awards again in 2020.

Lifetime Membership Award

Life Membership is a special award for any member who, as an HPN consumer, parent or carer, has given their time “over and above” for PNDU. It is the highest accolade that the group can bestow as a token of appreciation for the individual’s exceptional contribution to development and growth of the group’s support for people on HPN.

PNDU Professional Awards

The PNDU Professional Awards are a recognition of positive efforts by health professionals and industry to provide good quality service to HPN consumers in Australia and New Zealand.  There are four categories:
