Congratulations to our 10 Churchill Fellows, Patron Tom Calma, Life Member, and Selection panel member who were all recognised on the 2023 Australia Day Honours list.
“Congratulations to the outstanding Australians recognised in today’s Honours List. The recipients have had a significant impact at the local, national and international level and are, quite simply, inspiring,” the Governor-General said.
“They go above and beyond, are from all over the country, and contribute every day in every way imaginable. These are the people who see us through good times and bad. They’re the first to show up and the last to leave.
“They’re almost always humble to a fault but I urge recipients, for today, to put aside that humility – it’s important they know how much they are valued.”
Belinda Duarte AM – Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to the Indigenous community, and to sports administration.
