Nineteen GPs Named In King’s Birthday Honours
The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has warmly congratulated the 19 GPs and their families named in the King’s Birthday 2025 Honours List.
In 2025, the list recognises 830 Australians, including awards in the Order of Australia (General and Military Divisions), meritorious awards and recognition for distinguished and conspicuous service.
Recipients will attend investiture ceremonies at the Government House in their state or territory in coming months to receive the insignia of their award.
RACGP President Dr Michael Wright congratulated all winners and reiterated the essential role of specialist GPs in keeping their communities healthy, while in many cases also taking roles as community leaders and advocates.
“Everyone who has been named in this year’s King’s Birthday Honours has served the community with selflessness and integrity, and these awards reflect not just a personal achievement, but often outstanding care, creativity, and resilience,” he said.
“Recognition through King’s Birthday Honours reflects truly outstanding service. I’m proud so many GPs have received honours this year, for both medical practice and service in other leading roles, including in the army and the public service.
“On behalf of all Australians, I thank recipients for their service and congratulate them on their recognition.”
