Employee and Volunteer of the Year Awards

ABOUT THE AWARD

Catholic Social Services Western Australia (CSSWA) encourages employees and volunteers from our member organisations to recognise someone they feel does an amazing job and provides exceptional support.

The CSSWA Employee and Volunteer of the Year Award acknowledges and celebrates a person who demonstrates Catholic values through their work practices.

Recipients receive a celebratory morning or afternoon tea to share with their team, a certificate and a gift voucher as a gesture for their efforts.
