Eminent women in engineering, philanthropy and sport were among those to be recognised with the highest accolade in the 2016 Australia Day honours. However, women comprised just 183 of the 604 Australians to receive honours.
Among those to receive admission as companions of the Order of Australia (AC), were the philanthropist Maria Myers, the vice president of the Western Bulldogs AFL club, Susan Alberti, and the engineer and scientist Mary O'Kane.
