Seven Australians transforming the future of food, horticulture and agriculture are featured in Winston’s Harvest, a new video series launched today by the Winston Churchill Trust Australia. 

At just 15 years old, Geoffrey Tozer (CF 1969) became the youngest ever recipient of a Churchill Fellowship — an early sign of the extraordinary talent that would define his life and career. Now, his remarkable legacy is being brought to the screen in the newly released documentary Pure Genius: The Geoffrey Tozer Story.

This year’s theme, #TogetherAgainstLoneliness, highlights the importance of connection, inclusion and support. For Churchill Fellow Madeleine Healey, the theme strongly reflects her work addressing a critical and often overlooked health inequity for people with Down syndrome: access to appropriate dementia diagnosis and care.

Two Churchill Fellows, Dr Michela Mitchell, CF 2020 and Dr Gemma Galbraith CF 2024, recently took part in a 36-day research voyage aboard the RV Investigator, exploring deep-sea ecosystems in the Coral Sea Marine Park.

Do you know someone who should apply for a Churchill Fellowship? Think about the people around you. Is there someone who would be a great Churchill Fellow?

Applications for the 2026 Churchill Fellowships are now open - inviting Australians from all walks of life to travel overseas, learn directly from world leaders in their field, and bring that knowledge home to benefit their communities.
