ECU Vice-Chancellor Professor Clare Pollock extended her heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and those nominated.

"This year, close to 200 ECU staff were nominated across individual and team awards in the categories of Learning and Teaching, Research and Research Supervision, Inspirational Staff, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advancement and Health, Safety and Wellbeing Practice," Professor Pollock said.

"To be recognised in these awards is a testament to the hard work, dedication and passion that our staff bring to their roles every day and to win an award showcases the commitment that results in outstanding benefits to students, staff and wider community.
