Australia Prize

From Freepedia

The Australia Prize was Australia's pre-eminent prize for scientific research from 1990 until 2000, when it was replaced by the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science.

The Australia Prize, consisting of a cash award and an inscribed medal, was awarded annually by the Government of Australia for an outstanding specific scientific achievement promoting human welfare.

The A$300,000 Prime Minister's Prize for Science is awarded to an Australian individual or group who has made an outstanding contribution to science with demonstrated benefit to human welfare or society.

The A$50,000 Science Minister's Prize for Life Scientist of the Year and Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year are awarded for an outstanding achievement in science that advances, or has the potential to advance, human welfare or benefits society. Each of these Prizes may only be awarded to an individual.
