We are excited to announce that PoCoG Scientific Advisory Committee Chair, Professor David Kissane, was made a Companion in the General Division of the Order of Australia (AC) on Australia Day, Friday 26 January.
Professor Kissane's award was for eminent service to psychiatry, particularly psycho-oncology and palliative medicine, as an educator, researcher, author and clinician through executive roles with a range of national and international professional medical bodies.
This significant achievement recognises David's lifetime commitment to improving the psychological well being of people affected by cancer. From all of us in the PoCoG executive office and on behalf of PoCoG members - Congratulations David!
