Cheryl Burman Award
The Cheryl Burman Award is presented each year in celebration of a person, group or service whose work has made a real difference in the lives of people and communities affected by viral hepatitis in NSW, through care, support, information, prevention or treatment.
The award is named in honour of Cheryl Burman, whose leadership, commitment and care helped shape the early response to viral hepatitis in NSW. Cheryl served on the Board of the Hepatitis C Council of NSW from 1993 to 2000, including as President from 1995 to 1999, and made a lasting contribution to the leadership and governance of Hepatitis NSW. Sadly, Cheryl died on 9 August 2011 after her very long struggle with hep C. We are pleased to name this Award in Cheryl’s memory and honour.
