Calling all crane-iacs
SHARE

COMPETITION CLOSED. Stay tuned to find out how you can vote for the best shortlisted crane names. 

Earlier this year, we asked young patients and visitors on the John Hunter campus to colour the cranes. Now it’s time for the whole community to get involved! So put your thinking caps on and help us name the cranes.

The cranes are working hard to deliver a new, seven-storey hospital building as part of the John Hunter Health and Innovation Precinct (JHHIP) project, which will help doctors and nurses care for the community into the future.  

For each crane, there are 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for the best names. Plus, mention your school to put them in the running for a one-off prize.
  • 1st place - $100 book voucher
  • 2nd place - $75 book voucher
  • 3rd place - $50 book voucher
  • School prize - $200 voucher for the most votes from a school
To submit your crane name, complete the online entry form by 5pm AEST 19 May 2023. (Competition closed)

Entries will be shortlisted by the JHHIP team and the community will then get the opportunity to vote for the winners.
 
The kookaburra and cockatoo were chosen because they are typically found in the surrounding bushland that is home to the new building on Awabakal land. 
 
Terms and conditions are outlined below. If you would like to know more, email hi-jhhip@health.nsw.gov.au
