Entrants should ensure that information is current and relates to the qualifying period (1 January 2024 - 30 May 2025.). You must submit a new entry each year. The use of submissions from previous years will not be accepted. Written submissions must be uploaded online via the AHA NSW awards website (www. ahaawardsnsw.com.au) or emailed to awards@ahansw.com.au.

STYLE GUIDE

These should both be formatted as follows:

  • PAGE SIZE: A4 (297mm x 210mm)
  • FONT: All fonts (questions, answers, captions, and tables) must be no smaller than 12-point size in Times New Roman, Arial or Tahoma.
