Nothing makes a person feel more valued or appreciated than a simple ‘thank you’ for a job well done. Thank You Week is the time Gold Coast Health sets aside each year to recognise the great work our people do every day.
To celebrate there are several activities and events held throughout the week. Download the calendar of activities to display in your workplace.
You can also submit an eThanks form to recognise a colleague or team. Once your message of thanks is approved, it will be published on our intranet for public acknowledgement.
Thank You Week 2025 is proudly sponsored by QSuper, EASI, Smith Collective, BOQ, Von Bibra, Smart, Medibank, FAA, Bupa, Griffith University, Remserv, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank Australia, Nurses & Midwives Health and Q Bank, and proudly supported by our partners Fitness Passport and the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation.
