The Prizes recognise the achievements and success of Australian scientists and innovators. They also recognise the benefits of their work to both Australia and the rest of the world.
The Prizes also recognise the critical role primary and secondary school teachers play in inspiring and encouraging students to take an interest, consider and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
