Dr Hargrave's Legacy
The John Hargrave Society works to build John’s legacy, promote his life’s work and inspire others to walk in his footsteps.
We played a role in the achievements below because we want to encourage others to learn more about John’s dedication and commitment to First Nations peoples.
The John Hargrave Honour Roll
The Dr John Hargrave Honour Roll is one of the prestigous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker and Practitioner Excellence Awards.
Awarded by the Northern Territory Department of Health, it’s a lifetime achievement that’s awarded to a health worker who has made significant and positive contributions to the health and wellbeing of individual people, families and communities. They must also demonstrate a commitment to developing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker and/or Practitioner professions.
