The Menzies medallion is awarded by the Menzies Board to individuals or groups who have made a considerable contribution to health, of relevance to the Northern Territory.
In 2024, Dr Donna Ah Chee, a proud Bundjalung woman, and CEO of Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, was awarded the Menzies Medallion in recognition for outstanding health advocacy, leadership and unwavering commitment to working to create real and lasting improvements to the lives of all Territorians.
Under Dr Ah Chee’s leadership, Menzies and Congress have established a long-standing partnership, working together to generate evidence on effective solutions to address the issues that matter to the community. She has been instrumental in shaping a comprehensive, culturally responsive model of primary healthcare across the region.
