Mentorship is essential for success in a career in haematology, yet it is often a component of career development that, while prized by recipients, is rarely rewarded. Many of us have benefited from the support of an exceptional mentor, but often this role is unrecognised. The HSANZ Haematology Mentorship Award recipient is someone who has demonstrated an outstanding and lasting impact in the education and training of trainees / nurses / scientists. The assessment of the nominee's contribution in relation to others is an essential part of the nomination. Please review the Criteria and Guidelines for the Mentorship Award here. Closing Date: 28 August 2026
This award is to honour an individual who demonstrates extraordinary commitment to leadership in haematology. Our success as a profession is contingent on our members sharing knowledge, demonstrating thought leadership, and increasing the value of haematology. The recipient will be recognised by the presentation of an honorific award at the Annual Blood Meeting. Nominees should have a recognised record of accomplishment in terms of contributing to significant leadership that has benefited the haematology profession. This leadership may be within their clinical or academic department, via advocacy to government and contribution to policy, or through international leadership in clinical or translational research.
