Today (10 June), 737 Australians were recognised for their services in the King’s Birthday 2024 Honour List. It was a significant drop in numbers from last year (1192) and was heavily weighted towards the medical/health sector.
Of the 737 honours awarded, 493 recipients were within the General Division – which is where the arts fall (the other 33% are military and public service recipients).
