Awards Recognise Our Stars

Hall & Prior’s directors recognised the extraordinary achievements of our WA staff at the end of 2021 with a glittering awards ceremony - complete with red carpet and plenty of applause for each of the worthy recipients. Photos by Ryan Ammon.

Every year, Hall & Prior’s directors - Graeme Prior and Michael Hall - roll out the red carpet for the staff who have made an exceptional contribution to the Hall & Prior Group. Many of those on the list to receive an award this year had made a significant contribution to their team or home - and many more had notched up long-service achievements in excess of 10, 15 and 20 years. There were over 70 awards this year, including Rising Stars, Leadership, Care & Service and Meritorious Service, awarded to Andrew Prior and Kraig Hoogland for their contribution to NSW and Georges Estate over an extended period of time. Graeme Prior acknowledged the extra pressure staff were facing as COVID-19 continued to create challenges across the aged care sector.

“Our mission statement is that we are compassionate people, dedicated to care - and never has this been more apt in the current environment,” said Mr Prior.

“Our strength lies in our people, their experience, compassion and dedication to given the very best care to each and every resident in our homes in WA and NSW. I’m so proud of the work they do each and every day.”
