Dr McMillan was General Manager of Vision Australia between 1981 and 1991, and National Secretary of the Australian Council for Radio for Print Handicapped.

Mr Mathiaparanam Ravichandhirawas was recognised for service to the arts, particularly through the Academy of Indian Music and Cultural Studies Australia.
