The ASA Awards of Excellence are the perfect opportunity to shine a light on a sonographer who has made a difference over the past year. Award recipients will be honoured at the Gala Dinner held at the ASA2025 Melbourne Conference in June. 


Awards of Excellence

Nominations for the 2025 Awards of Excellence will open in 2025.

The annual ASA Awards of Excellence honours outstanding achievements in sonography and recognises excellence, best practice, and contributions to the sonography profession.   

It could be someone who has gone the extra mile in patient care, is an innovative educator, or is passionate about mentoring sonographers. They could be the sonographer in your workplace who provides great team support, someone dedicated to volunteering, or perhaps an enthusiastic researcher.   

The Awards of Excellence categories include: 

  • Sonographer of the Year (ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, WA & New Zealand) 

  • The Sue Caitcheon Memorial ASA Volunteer of the Year Award

  • Researcher of the Year 

  • Tutor/Clinical Supervisor of the Year

Pru Pratten Lifetime Achievement Award

Nominations for the 2025 Pru Pratten Lifetime Achievement Award will open in 2025.

Now in its 29th year, the prestigious Pru Pratten Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award recognises and honours a sonographer who has made a significant contribution to the profession, and the ASA, over the course of their career.    


Nominees will display a desire for excellence, demonstrate outstanding achievements, and through their personal efforts, helped to advance the sonography profession.    

The 2025 Award recipient will be announced and honoured at the Gala Dinner held at the ASA2025 Melbourne Conference.

In 2024, the ASA Board made the decision to grant all past and future Pru Pratten Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award recipients with Honorary ASA Lifetime Membership, in recognition of their invaluable contributions to the sonography profession and to the ASA.
