ANZGOG Chair, Professor Clare Scott has been appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday 2022 Honours list which was announced by the Governor-General today, June 13.
Professor Scott AM has been recognised for her significant services to gynaecological cancer. The Australian Honours and Awards system recognises the outstanding service and contributions of Australians. Recipients come from right across the country and from all walks of life. While some are well-known, the majority are unsung heroes.
Prof Clare Scott AM
Prof Clare Scott AM believes that working as a medical oncologist and translational researcher, she has a vital role to be an advocate for women with gynaecological cancer and a voice that represents all who work tirelessly to improve the lives of people affected by gynaecological cancers.
“The only way to change the future is with research. Today’s treatments lack the power we need. Instead, we need to match treatments with cancers so that we can control them properly for the future. This requires a whole network of people, both nationally and internationally. I would really like to thank all women who have participated in clinical trials, it is a significant commitment.”
