2024 Australian of the Year: Georgina Long, Richard Scolyer | Australian of the Year | ABC Australia

Your 2024 Australians of the Year are Professor Georgina Long AO and Professor Richard Scolyer AO!
Co-medical directors of Melanoma Institute Australia, Professor Georgina Long AO and Professor Richard Scolyer AO’s partnership has saved thousands of lives from melanoma.
Less than a decade ago, advanced melanoma was fatal - but thanks to Georgina and Richard’s immunotherapy approach, it has become a curable disease.

Fantastic. I hope this work keeps going. My younger sister died with a melanoma cancer she was just 31. Pregnant and it was only a month from the time she was diagnosed with having brain tumours till the time she died. Doctors managed to save her baby boy.
