On
The Pitch
In Sydney Local Health District, we celebrate the great ideas of our staff at our Pitch Innovation Series.
Since The Pitch began in 2014, there have been 85 winners from more than 320 entries from departments across the District. The Pitch has now invested more than $2 million dollars, helping staff bring their innovative ideas to life.
We’ve heard ideas for high-tech equipment, programs, apps, wellness programs, therapy gardens and grounds, training and design.
This year we celebrated 10 years of the Pitch with a special Innovation Week feature at Canterbury Hospital.
