CRC researcher Professor Vivienne Tippett has been recognised for her efforts and contributions to science with a Queen’s Birthday Medal of the Order of Australia.

The OAM recognised Prof Tippett's contribution to medical education where she has worked for over ten years as a researcher in the area of pre-hospital care.

Dr Richard Thornton, CRC CEO, said the recognition was well deserved.

“Receiving an OAM is a fantastic achievement by Vivienne. On behalf of all at the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC I'd like to congratulate Vivienne on all of her achievements over her extensive career.”
