From 14 to 17 September, Queenslanders from across the state gathered at Fernberg to receive Australian Honours and Awards from the Governor.

Across seven Investiture Ceremonies, recipients were recognised for service and achievement in fields as diverse as medicine, engineering, agriculture, the arts, defence, emergency services and community volunteering.

Across seven Investiture Ceremonies, more than 140 remarkable Queenslanders have been recognised at Government House.

Their contributions span community leadership, national service, research, industry, sport and many other fields, yet each shares a common thread: a commitment to serving others.

Government House will host six Investiture Ceremonies, recognising more than 107 outstanding Queenslanders for their achievements and service across a wide range of fields, from community leadership and national defence to sporting excellence.

Across all six ceremonies, recipients reflect the remarkable breadth and depth of Australian achievement — a fitting tribute in this special 50th anniversary year of the Australian Honours and Awards system, the pre-eminent way Australians recognise the achievements and service of their fellow citizens.

The Governor will host a series of six Investiture Ceremonies at Government House in Brisbane from Monday to Thursday, 16-19 September 2024.

Several have been recognised for their bravery and actions in saving the lives of others.
