Congratulations to WCA Graduates awarded the top at the 2025 HCANZA Awards of Excellence
Early September saw our industry come together for the 2025 Annual HCANZA conference in Brisbane which included the annual HCANZA Awards of Excellence.
The awards evening as expected was exciting and we are so happy to congratulate all finalists and winners. In particular, two WCA graduates who were recognised with the top honours and awarded:
Jessica Cairn – Health and Wellness Coach of the Year in a Healthcare Setting
Jess completed her studies as a Health and Wellness Coach with WCA back in 2017 leaving her role in corporate travel to pursue her passion for helping others. Together with a Post graduate Diploma in Nutrition, Jess has been working with the team at the award winning clinic ‘Melbourne Functional Medicine’ since September 2021, where her and fellow Health Coaches provide an integral role in the patient centered approach they deliver.
