The Tasmanian Maggie Awards honour the incredible people working within Statewide Mental Health Services who go above and beyond for our community. Established in 2023 and named in part after the late Dr Margaret Tobin, these annual awards shine a light on staff whose dedication, compassion, and leadership make a real difference in the lives of Tasmanians.

MHFFTas Board, staff, and our Family and Friend Program Representatives warmly congratulate all nominees and the 2025 award winners. We’re grateful for the commitment you show every day, and we value the opportunities we have to work alongside you in supporting families, friends, and carers.

We also extend our appreciation to everyone across the Tasmanian mental health system. Your care, professionalism, and determination continue to shape a service system that is more responsive, collaborative, and hopeful for the people who rely on it.
