Queen's Birthday Honour for CSSA Deputy Board Chair, Professor John Warhurst

Congratulations to Catholic Social Services Australia Deputy Board Chair, Professor John Warhurst, who was one of 24 people to receive an Officer in the General Division (AO) in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours.

Professor Warhurst received the prestigious award for service to higher education, particularly in the field of political science, as an academic, author and commentator on national and international political issues, and also for service to the community. He has also been acknowledged for his work with the Australian Republican Movement, Catholic Social Services Australia, Catholic Welfare Australia and the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council.

Through his skills and personal commitment John has helped build a better Australia, particularly for the country's most disadvantaged people, by going above and beyond the calling of his professional life to serve the greater good. Article from the Canberra Times newspaper available here.
