Living Our Values: Celebrating Our 2026 Salutem Award Winners🌟

Conference hall stage with two large screens showing the question, 'Are leaders born or are they made?', two presenters at the podium under purple lighting, and an audience watching.

At Salutem Care and Education, our values are more than words, they shape the way we care, support, and empower the people we support every single day.

At this year’s National Managers Conference 2026, we were proud to recognise colleagues who truly embody what it means to live our values. From compassion and ambition to transparency and meaningful impact, these individuals represent the very best of Salutem.

Recognising What Matters Most🤝

Our Values Awards celebrate the behaviours and attitudes that define our culture. They highlight the colleagues who go above and beyond—those who make a real difference, not just through what they do, but how they do it.
