The HealthInfoNet has achieved recognition for its innovative approaches to the generation and sharing of knowledge. This recognition includes being chosen as a finalist in the prestigious Stockholm Challenge Award (the international award that highlights the benefits that information and communication technology can bring to people and society) and winning the Public Health Association of Australia's inaugural Eberhard Wenzel Online Award.

In 2011 the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet won the 'Diversity' category at the 2011 Australia New Zealand Internet Awards. The judges of the 'Diversity' category agreed that the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet makes a significant contribution to improving the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and that through a visually stunning interface, developed an online indigenous health resource, that helps overcome the obstacles posed by Australia's vast geographic expanses and the remoteness of many affected communities. The judges commented that many communities and projects from outside Australia could learn a lot from this important resource that appropriately respects the culture of our first nation people.
