Each year we celebrate our Caring for You Core Values Members Awards Night on July 1 to recognise the exceptional care, warmth and compassion displayed by Members over the past 12 months.
The event is attended by the Caring for You Executive Team, staff members, the award finalists and their guest, who gather to celebrate the people who are “Simply the Best”.
Caring for You’s late founder, Louise Thomson (Louy), began the agency with the aspiration of providing a vital service that was always from a nurse’s perspective, driven by a desire to supply well-trained professional nurses to the healthcare industry who would be appreciated by employers with strong values.
From these humble beginnings, Caring for You has grown into Australia’s leading nursing agency with over 5,500 Members and 120 internal staff working across the nation.
Before her passing early in 2021, Louy established the Core Values that embodied the humility and care of the Caring for You family in everything we do.
The Core Value Awards were created by our Co-CEOs, Grace and Belle Thomson to honour the legacy of their mother, Louy, and the values she instilled into the Caring for You brand.
Six Core Value Awards recognise and celebrate a Member who has demonstrated a specific Core Value over the past year. The winners of these six categories are presented with a beautiful glass trophy and a cash prize.
Two additional awards are:
The Tony Miller Awards is dedicated to Louy’s late father and provides a sponsorship learning fund to help the winner focuses on continual learning in the Health Care sector.
The final award of the night is “The Louy”, and honours the character and drive of Louy, and one of our Core Value winners receives a special glass trophy and a brand-new car.
Wally was the winner of the ‘Can do attitude’ award and "The Louy" Award, which honoured the character and drive of the late founder. It was a pleasure for Louy’s daughters to present Wally with a brand-new car to show their appreciation for his incredible commitment and care to the Cranbourne community.
Belle presented the Tony Miller Award to Stephanie Foster, saying that “Tony was our Grandfather, our Mum's dad and a man who was cared for by a beautiful lady who had always dreamed of completing her RN but had not had the money to complete the course. In his honour, Louise made this an ongoing Award helping hand out someone who deserves and opportunity to advance themselves but has not had that opportunity available to them"
Grace and Belle were astounded by the sheer number of nominations received, with over 100 submissions, which made narrowing down the 6 winners exceptionally hard. At the awards night, Grace said, “she was a huge advocate for celebrating the incredible efforts of people who go above and beyond, and for finding the joy in the moment, even in the most challenging of times - such as those we have all faced in the last 18 months. We felt there was no better way to honour her memory than to create a night which speaks to the person that Louy was and all she stood for.”
We want you to know that we are very pleased with the quality of service that Caring for You provides Southern Cross Care’s residential aged care facilities. We would also like to compliment your friendly and efficient staff in being able to source skilled staff within a very short time-frame.
As a business woman I’m a hard marker but have to say that it has been hard to fault Caring for You – their nurses and carers are excellent – professional, friendly, well presented and trustworthy. Caring for You provides a highly personalised service, with continuity of Carers which for us has been an important stabiliser. ‘Caring for You’ has been a blessing and provided all of us with peace of mind.
Caring for You is our Number 1 agency provider for Care Assistants and Registered Nurses as the quality of staff is always at the highest level. Most of your staff always display professionalism when representing Caring for You and go above and beyond to assist our staff where needed.
Caring for You PCA's were great with the residents, took one of our residents for a walk in the garden and picked flowers followed by gathering a group of residents into the hakea dining area to play word games on the whiteboard in which the residents thoroughly enjoyed
