Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome back from break and happy Chinese New Year for tomorrow, the year of the Water Tiger.

On Australia Day I emailed you celebrating the news of the late Professor John Love’s Order of Australia. My apologies, in my excitement and haste I made an error, John has been appointed a Member of Order of Australia (AM) which is one step above the Medal of order of Australia (OAM). My heart felt thanks to the foresight of his anonymous nominator and referees for their support (photo credit: Stuart Hay).

On behalf of one of our staff members I draw your attention to a request to support a family seeking specialised surgery for their daughter, Maisie (see right).

Have a great week.
Tim
