The Australia Day Honours list has been released.
With 1040 Australians recognised for their achievement and their services to the community, many South Australians made the list.
Notable South Aussies to receive recognition include cook and author Maggie Beer, broadcast personality Jane Doyle and vaccinology and public health professor Helen Marshall.
Victorian tennis star and disability advocate Dylan Alcott took out the top honour being named 2022 Australian of the Year, in addition to a sporting honour.
In the general division, 47 per cent of the recipients were women, a record number despite still being below the 50 per cent mark.
“Congratulations to the outstanding Australians recognised in today’s Honours List. Collectively the recipients, whose achievements span community service, science and research, industry, sport, the arts and more, represent the strength and diversity of Australia,” Governor-General David Hurley said in a statement.
