Within its National Research Priorities, the Commonwealth Government has established a priority goal of Ageing Well, Ageing Productively. The work of the Institute is already making a major contribution on several fronts under this theme, as demonstrated by the success rate of our research teams both in winning NHMRC and ARC funding and in peer- reviewed publications. The Institute is very well placed to assist the New South Wales Government in achieving its stated objective "to position and promote NSW as a leader in science, innovation and medical research". Whilst the research teams have been very successful in attracting grants for individual projects and ongoing research programs, the funding of the Institute’s basic infrastructure and administration remains a concern.

  • Fun Scotch Facts K Is for Knights
    Fun Scotch Facts K is for Knights - Although knighthoods are no longer bestowed in Australia, Scotch has produced at least 71 Old Boys who have been knighted, with only one now living. The 10 chosen below are a selection indicative of their diversity: - Sir George Houstoun Reid (said to be SC 1854-58, but probably actually attended for a much briefer period). Scotch’s only Prime Minister to date, from 1904 to 1905. He was Premier of New South Wales (1894-98) and played a key role in the Federation of the colonies in the creation of the Australian nation. - Sir Harry Sutherland Wightman Lawson (SC 1891) was a solicitor and the Premier of Victoria from 1918 to 1924. A speech he gave in Parliament on 27 July 1927 revived the moribund proposal to build the Shrine of Remembrance. His sons, grandsons, great grandsons and great- great grandsons have attended Scotch. - Sir John Greig Latham (SC 1890-93) was the Member for Kooyong (1922-34), Attorney General (1925-29 and 1931-34), Leader of the Opposition (1929-31), Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for External Affairs (1931-34), Minister for Industry, represented Australian at the League of Nations, Chancellor of Melbourne University (1939-41) and was Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia (1933-52). He sent two sons to Scotch and was the 17th President of OSCA in 1953. - Sir Francis William Rolland (SC 1895) was a Presbyterian Minister and AIF Chaplain in World War I, for which he won the Military Cross at the Battle of Hamel for assisting the wounded on the front line.

  • Part 2 of 'Pioneers of Australian Military Malariology'
    History Malariology in Australia between the First and Second World Wars (Part 2 of ‘Pioneers of Australian military malariology’) Ian Howie-Willis Abstract Two ‘push’ factors drove Australian malariological research in the decades before World War II. The first was the nation’s own experience of malaria in its tropical north, where local, usually seasonal, outbreaks of the disease occurred fairly regularly. The second was the Army’s experience of malaria during overseas deployments. During the two inter-war decades, the 1920s and 30s, Australian research into tropical diseases generally and malariology in particular benefited from the return to civilian life of former Australian Army Medical Corps (AAMC) medical officers who had seen malaria at first hand during World War I. A small but significant number of them specialised in tropical medicine post-war in either the specialist medical research institutes or university medical faculties. As the war ended they began publishing their findings. This corpus of research reports was the ‘soil’ from which Australian malariology grew. Introduction • Except for the DGMS, all the AAMC medical officers were members of the reserve forces; Part 1 in this series of articles, ‘Pioneers of Australian and so their soldiering had to be fitted into their military malariology’, profiled the careers of five spare time in their busy professional lives. AAMC officers and one civilian tropical diseases specialist who had direct experience of malaria • Malariology was the province of several during the first two decades of the twentieth century. organisations specialising in tropical medicine, In the Australian Army, malaria had been diagnosed most notably the Australian Institute of Tropical among troops of successive contingents sent to Medicine in Townsville and later (from 1930) the South Africa during the Boer War of 1899–1902.

  • Defending the North: Frontline Cairns (1940-1946) - an Historical Overview
    etropic 8 (2009): Bottoms, Defending the North Defending the North: Frontline Cairns (1940-1946) - an historical overview Timothy Bottoms 1. Introduction The defence of Australia during the Second World War in the Pacific lay in the north of the continent: from Broome and Darwin to Cairns and Townsville. After the Japanese military swept through South East Asia, they were at Australia's backdoor. Initially, there was a quiet period where little appeared to be happening. Then a rapid build-up of Allied military strength began. Cairns, the closest city to the conflict; was only 1000 kms from Port Moresby and Papua New Guinea, and the war that raged in the Coral Sea and Melanesia. The hostilities were closer to the people of Cairns than their State capital, Brisbane, 1800 kms to the south. Roads, bridges, airfields and port facilities had to be greatly improved. All this and trying to keep Allied soldiers from quarrelling - the scene was set for the transformation of the sleepy tropical township of Cairns, where sugar, tourism and fishing held sway, to a busy centre converting to a forward base for the defence of the nation. 2. The Coming of War to FNQ In mid-1941, six months before the Japanese attacked Malaya and Pearl Harbor, the 'Cairns to Kuranda' Range road was opened for traffic.1 It was to be one of the most vital links in the joint Australian and American defence of the Far North. Following the September 1939 announcement of war with Germany, a 'Northern Centres Alert' was issued for defensive preparations in Townsville and Cairns.
