Medal of the Order of Australia
While 26 January is a day of recognising the commitment that many have given to the arts, culture and philanthropy across the sector, this year’s Australia Day Honours List shows that our industry is not so great at recognising its achievements.
Across all categories (excluding OAMs), 272 honours were awarded this year, mostly in the area of medicine. Among those honours, just 20 were from the arts and culture sector, or 7%.
