Seven ANU Community Members Nominated for 2027 Australian of the Year Award
Published
Seven members of The Australian National University (ANU) have been nominated for the 2027 Australian of the Year Awards. The nominees have been recognised for their work in public health, science and other areas that help the wider community.
The Australian of the Year Awards are among the most important honours in Australia. Each year, they celebrate people who have made a significant contribution to the country. The awards highlight the achievements of individuals whose work can inspire other Australians and improve daily life across the nation.
Being nominated is an important achievement for the university. It shows the range of research and community work that takes place at ANU, which is based in Canberra. The university has not yet announced the full details of each nominee's contribution, but the nominations reflect the strong links between academic research and public service in Australia.
The winners of the 2027 Australian of the Year Awards will be announced in the coming months. Until then, the nominees will continue their work, and the wider ANU community is expected to follow the results closely.
