au
Marilyn Darling
AO for service to the
development, advancement
and growth of visual arts in
Australia and internationally,
particularly through the
National Portrait Gallery, and
to the community through
philanthropic endeavours.
It is not every day a scientist
decides to trade her Petri
dishes in for portraits, but for
Marilyn Darling it has proven
a valuable career move.
Spending the past 20 years
promoting visual art in the
not-for-profit sector, Mrs
Darling and her husband,
Gordon, planted the idea of a
national portrait gallery for
Australia with their 1992
exhibition Uncommon
Australians. In December
last year she reached the
‘‘definite highlight’’ of her
career with the official
opening of the National
Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
Mrs Darling says her
career at the portrait gallery
has concluded, but she is far
from retiring from the art
scene, planning to spend
more time focusing on
the Gordon Darling
Foundation.
Erin Somerville
Professor Colin
Sullivan
AO for service to medicine as
an innovator in the field of
sleep disorders and the
development of equipment
and treatment practices.
People across the world have
Colin Sullivan to thank for
peaceful nights. The
University of Sydney
professor revolutionised the
treatment of obstructive sleep
apnoea – and won praise from
partners of snorers – when he
established the first clinical
sleep laboratory in Australia
at Royal Prince Alfred
Hospital in 1979. A year later
he invented the continuous
positive airway pressure
mask, now widely used in
homes and hospitals. The
mask was initially
manufactured in the
university’s laboratories, but
is now made in San Diego by
ResMed, a company founded
by Professor Sullivan.
ResMed last year notched up
$261 million is sales. He was
also responsible for
establishing sleep disorders
centres at the Children’s
Hospital at Westmead and the
Sydney Children’s Hospital.
Kate Benson
Marcia Hines
AM for service to the
entertainment industry as a
performer, judge and mentor,
and to the community
through a range of charitable
organisations.
Arriving in Australia in 1970
as an ambitious teenager, this
Boston-born singer wasted no
time in firmly cementing
herself as Australia’s Queen
of Pop, winning the hearts of
Australian audiences and
critics along the way.
Ms Hines broke the barriers
from an early age. She was the
youngest person ever to play a
featured role in the famed
musical Hair, and played the
world’s first black Mary
Magdalene in the musical
Jesus Christ Superstar. With a
dozen albums to her name
and a series of musicals and
tours under her belt, Ms Hines
is also affiliated with
numerous community groups
and charities, including the
Variety Club, Diabetes
Australia, Nordoff-Robbins
Music Therapy Australia, the
Golden Stave Music
Foundation and World AIDS
Day. She was inducted
into the ARIA Hall of Fame
in 2007.
