Dr Cynthia Cliff grew up in rural Western Australia with limited access to essential services such as health care, gave Dr Cynthia Cliff the appreciation for the need for technology and social change. Growing up in an all-girl “girls-can-do-anything” farming family at a time when government policy actively discriminated against farmers without a son empowered her with the belief that anything was possible.
Dr Cliff’s passion and curiosity in how innovation, technology and social change can play in minimising environmental impact whilst empowering regional development and economic transformation has been the driving force in the design, development and delivery of more than 575 successful projects totalling approximately $350 million over the last 30 years.

Dr Jeni Wellington is being recognised for her future-focused, large-scale, innovative approach to tackling Australia’s healthcare crisis which has the potential to impact the lives of millions of Australians.
Dr Jeni Wellington never set out to be a software company owner or to build a business. She was a doctor who saw a critical problem that couldn’t be fixed by simply filling the seats in her consultation room. With less than 50,000 specialists and more 11.8 million people in Australia living with chronic diseases, a 12% increase in the last 7 years alone, Dr Wellington could see no feasible way to support the vast amounts of people in the community struggling with one of the biggest burdens on the Australian healthcare system.

She also understood that not only does being digitally literate allow an individual to fully participate in society; but it also empowers them to expand their learning and life outcomes.
This led Kerri to draw on her skills and expertise as a digital learning designer to bring to life the Digital Literacy Licence (DLL) – a mirco credential program that focuses on enhancing the base-level foundation skills for everyday Australians. Read more...
