Scientific and engineering development has been synonymous with Australia for many years. From the development of penicillin, the black box flight data recorder, the Victa lawnmower and the hills hoist, Australia has been at the forefront of development.

​

However, this development would not be possible without inspirational people to lead, from both the front and behind, to push this vital part of society forwards. Not only have these people enabled us to make new discoveries and make life safer and more beneficial, but they are integral to ensuring that the next generation of leaders is inspired to continue in their footsteps and to continue in the great advancements of the current generation.
