A message from our founders
How it works
1. You nominate your hero — the healthcare worker who supports or inspires you most.
2. We’ll showcase your nominee and their fantastic work to over 40,000 people via our digital channels.
3. Each month, we’ll name one nominee “Dr Woof Healthcare Hero of the Month” and reward them with $3000 AUD.
Community-driven recognition
Often, the greatest heroes don’t know how great they are.
That’s why we believe our heroes deserve more than just $3000. We want them to feel the full appreciation of a community that sees and values their contributions.
The Dr. Woof community plays a vital role in honoring Healthcare Heroes. You nominate our heroes and, when we share the nominations, your feedback helps guide our final selection.
What we look for in a healthcare hero
Making the medical world smile
Going above and beyond to support colleagues and enrich the wider healthcare community.
Being a role model
Showing up every shift and providing high quality, compassionate care to those who need it.
Community response
How well a nomination resonates with our community - we’ll look at likes, comments, shares and any other shows of support.

FAQs
Who can I nominate?
Whoever you like — your favourite colleague, an incredible boss, a family member, a mentor, someone you follow on social media, your dog… okay, maybe not your dog.
The person you nominate must:
Be an individual — no groups.
Work in healthcare
Be 18 or older
Live in Australia
Can I nominate myself?
Go for it! Confidence is powerful, and we love to see it.
Any tips for creating the perfect nomination?
Our healthcare heroes are chosen by community engagement. The best nominations grab and hold people's interest. Try to:
Tell a story: Craft a compelling, emotion-driven narrative that captivates the audience.
Command attention: Use creative visuals, music, and transitions to keep people interested.
Focus on the positive: Tell us about the dedication and excellence of your nominee. You don’t have to put people down to lift others up.
Get specific: Instead of saying, “They’re really kind”, tell us about the kind things they do. Instead of saying, “They make me laugh”, share a joke they told you.
Should I talk to my nominee before I nominate them?
Yes, in fact, we insist.
Before we accept your nomination, we’ll ask you to confirm that you’ve spoken to your nominee and gained permission for us to share their story.
How will you manage social media comments?
We do not tolerate bullying or harassment. Any comments of this nature will be deleted.
