Mazal Tov to our King’s Birthday Honourees
A number of members of Australia's Jewish community have been recognised in this year's King's Birthday Honours List for their tireless efforts to make a difference.
Mazal Tov to the honourees in our community who have been recognised in this year’s King’s Birthday Honours List.
“I would like to congratulate all those recognised in today’s Honours List. Some names are well-known, but the vast majority are not – they are people who work tirelessly and selflessly to make a difference in our community,” said the Governor-General.
“Through today’s recognition we shine a light on their efforts, the impact they have and the difference they make. On behalf of all Australians, I thank recipients for their service and congratulate them on their recognition.”
