Press release from JTSI -
This year, we are excited to welcome HBF as a new sponsor to the program. This has allowed us to feature a new category, the HBF Mid-Career Scientist of the Year, which will recognise scientists who have completed their highest degree between five and fifteen years ago, have demonstrated excellence in their respective fields and are emerging science leaders.
We also welcome Pawsey Supercomputing Centre as a new supporter and thank all of our existing sponsors and supporters for making the Awards possible.
The six award categories in 2022 are:

You are also invited to nominate Western Australians who are pre-eminent in their field to be considered for induction into the Science Hall of Fame.
