Felix

Congratulations on being awarded in the King’s Birthday Honours and Awards 2025, a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division.

This is certainly well deserved and like many of these awards well overdue with recognition.

 

The King’s Birthday 2025 Honours List recognised 830 Australians, including awards in the Order of Australia (General and Military Divisions), meritorious awards and recognition for distinguished and conspicuous service. This represents an increase of awardees of almost 30% since the Australia Day 2025 List.
