Mr Smith is up for Staff Member of the Year against Joanne Casey of Cootamundra, Kelly-Anne Marchioni from district and Paige Frater from Temora.
Winners will be announced at a gala presentation evening on Friday, June 16.
There were 84 nominations received across nine team award categories and four individual award categories, which have now been narrowed down to just a few finalists in each category.
Murrumbidgee Local Health District Chief Executive Jill Ludford said the response was pleasing.
"We've seen such a diversity and high quality in the nominations this year, the judging panels really have had a tough time determining the top three in each category," she said.
