ALUMNAE Celebrating Judith Durham AO (Cock, ‘60) On Wednesday 9 October 2019, our muchrevered alumna Judith Durham AO was inducted into the Honour Roll for the Australian Women in Music Awards. The Australian Women in Music Awards is an inclusive annual event that acknowledges and celebrates the achievements of outstanding women in the Australian music industry. Hosted at the Brisbane Powerhouse, a tram power station that has been repurposed into a performing arts theatre, the evening saw Judith recognised for her significant and lifelong contributions to music.
Judith’s extensive charitable endeavours were also celebrated. She is the National Patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Australia, the Injured Nurses Support Group, the Small Miracles Foundation, the Australian Children’s Choir and the Georgina Josephine Foundation. We congratulate Judith on this welldeserved award, as she continues to inspire the next generation of young women to pursue their musical ambitions.
