Honours for Jewish Aussies
A number of Jewish Australians have received Australia Day Honours this year for their significant contributions to both country and community.
Mazal tov to our honourees, who make up the 1,042 Australians who have been recognised in this year’s Australia Day Honours.
“Recipients come from all parts of the country,” said Governor-General David Hurley.
“They have served and had an impact in just about every field you can imagine; their stories and backgrounds are diverse. We value their service, thank them for their hard work and selflessness and, today, celebrate them.
For the second consecutive Honours list, the majority of recipients in the General Division are women.
