Mount Druitt Hospital Supportive and Palliative Care Unit VolunteerMary Vincent of Western Sydney Local Health District has been awarded the Chifley Woman of the Year Award at the 2024 Coral Mclean Awards.

The awards celebrate the efforts of women who have made a significant impact on the lives of individuals across western Sydney and the Chifley federal electorate.

Federal Minister for Water and Environment, The Hon. Tanya Plibersek, presented the award to Mary for her exceptional care of people facing life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and cares.

“We are a close group of people who enjoy working together, it is great teamwork, and this award is an acknowledgement of that and representative of the entire team. We have had more volunteers coming onboard and so you become a buddy because you can start off quite hesitant and so it is kind to help give them that confidence” said Mary.
