Congratulations - Australian of the Year Nominees

Professors Carroll and Newman
07/11/2020

Congratulations to two of our well-respected and deserving staff who have been announced as Western Australian Nominees for the 2021 Australian of the Year Awards.

Professor William Carroll is a leading national and global neurologist leading Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital’s (SCGH) Neurology department, former president of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists and current president of the World Federation of Neurology. For more than 30 years, Professor Carroll has been influential in multiple sclerosis (MS) research and treatment.

Clinical Professor Mark Newman is an exceptionally skilled and compassionate cardiothoracic surgeon leading the Cardiothoracic Surgery department at SCGH and oversaw the development of a second cardiothoracic unit at the hospital – from managing upgrades in infrastructure to securing trainee positions. Mark changed the face of patient management, introducing the concept of high dependency care outside the intensive care unit – which has now been adopted by other specialities.

Professors Carroll and Newman have been nominated in the Australian of the Year category and are among 16 people in the running to be named the State’s Local Hero, Young Australian, Senior Australian or Australian of the Year.

The award recipients will be announced in a ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Perth on Thursday evening 12 November 2020. We wish them both well.
