We are thrilled to announce that Dwight Bilson, our dedicated Podiatrist, has been selected as a finalist in the 2025 Primary Care Quality & Innovation Awards for the prestigious Equity of Access to Primary Care category. This award recognises health professionals and organisations who actively work to break down barriers and ensure equal access to care for all, particularly those in vulnerable communities.
💛 Why Dwight’s Work with Mingaletta Matters
Dwight’s nomination comes from his exceptional service with the Mingaletta Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation Outreach Service, under the umbrella of Umina Podiatry. This initiative directly aligns with the Equity of Access award’s goals:
Prioritising equitable access for priority populations
Evidence of quality, innovation, impact, sustainability, and PHN values integration
By delivering culturally respectful foot-care clinics, educating about diabetes-related complications, and offering preventive care in trusted community settings, Dwight addresses a critical unmet need. His approach is not just clinical—it’s holistic and culturally safe.
🎉 Why This Matters
Being a finalist in this category places Dwight alongside forward-thinking changemakers, his nomination reflects not just a professional accomplishment, but also a profound commitment to community health.
👣 Join Us in Celebrating Dwight
As the award ceremony approaches, we invite our community, patients, and partners to cheer for Dwight and the Mingaletta team. His inspiring work is proof that everyone deserves access to the best foot care—no matter who they are or where they come from.
The award ceremony will take place on 1 August 2025, and while we already know Dwight is a winner in our eyes, we’ll be cheering him on as he’s recognised alongside other outstanding healthcare professionals across New South Wales.
Where can healthy feet take you…
