The Governor-General announced six Australian Antarctic Medals in a message to members of our Antarctic team.

“The six recipients of the 2020 Australian Antarctic Medal I am announcing today have each made an outstanding contribution to scientific research and exploration,” the Governor-General said.

“The medals go to a station leader, voyage manager, refuelling expert, field training specialist, and two scientists – these diverse contributions show the breadth of expertise and activity that drive the work of the Australian Antarctic program.

“The work of each recipient has been of immense value to Australia, to Antarctica and to science.”

The Australian Antarctic Medal is part of the Australian Honours and Awards system and recipients are announced each year on 21 June – the middle of winter. Instituted in 1987, the medal celebrates the outstanding service in scientific research or exploration in connection with an Australian Antarctic expedition, or in support of such work. Awards are recommended to the Governor-General by the Minister for the Environment.
