Five pharmacists have been honoured in this year’s Australia Day Order of Australia Awards.
They are:
Professor William Neil Charman was awarded the Officer (AO) in the General Division of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to tertiary education, particularly to the pharmaceutical sciences, and to professional organisations.
Colonel William James Kelly (Retd) also has been made a Member (AM) in the General Division of the Order of Australia for his significant service to pharmacy through a range of roles.
Dr Peter Raymond Carroll has been made a Member (AM) in the General Division of the Order of Australia for significant service to pharmacy education, and to community health
“You have to be very versatile in Australia as a musician. You can’t afford to put all your eggs in the soloist basket because you’ll starve if you do, or at the least get bored. That forces you into something that turns out to be really quite a virtue and that is having to play together with other people in ensembles. And that has tremendous benefits.”
Australian guitarist Timothy Kain celebrated his 70th birthday on 25th January this year and has so much to celebrate. He’s had a terrific career as a soloist, a duo guitarist with the likes of John Williams and many other great Australian instrumentalists, and he’s the founder of Guitar Trek, Australia’s unique and pioneering guitar quartet.
National Museum statement
The National Museum paid tribute to its former Council member, the late Maureen Kerridge (Plavsic), who has been awarded an Order of Australia.
Ms Kerridge has been made a Member (AM) in the General Division of the Order of Australia for significant service to the television industry, to the arts, and to charitable organisations.
Ms Kerridge who sadly passed away in 2020, served on the Council of the National Museum of Australia from 30 May 2016 until 1 May 2020, and was a founding member of the Museum’s Development Committee. Her leadership and extensive business experience, specifically in regard to commercial operations and philanthropy was invaluable to the work of the National Museum of Australia. Maureen was also a generous financial supporter of the Museum and through the Kerridge Family Foundation, she and her husband Keith, contributed to the Encounters Fellowship program as Major Partners.
