Charters Towers Regional Council is delighted to announce Adjunct Professor Adam Scott as the Australia Day Ambassador for the 2025 celebrations.

Professor Scott is the Director of Cardiac Sciences at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and the Founder and Chairperson of the White Cloud Foundation.

His dedication to healthcare and community well-being exemplifies the values we celebrate within our community on Australia Day.

Mayor Liz Schmidt expressed her enthusiasm about hosting such an accomplished guest.

“We are honoured to welcome Adjunct Professor Adam Scott to Charters Towers as our 2025 Australia Day Ambassador.

“His achievements and contributions to the community are truly inspiring and will resonate deeply with our residents.”

Professor Scott will present the awards at the 2025 Australia Day Awards ceremony, taking place at the World Theatre on Sunday, 26 January 2025, at 6:00 pm.

Residents are encouraged to join in celebrating local achievements and reflecting on the importance of this national day.

The Australia Day Ambassador Program is one of the longest-running and most successful national initiatives, sending high-achieving Australians to over 300 community celebrations across the country.

These ambassadors, including past Australian of the Year recipients, sportspeople, scientists, business leaders, actors, and community workers, embody the spirit of service and contribution.

“Australia Day is a time for all Australians to come together to reflect, respect, and celebrate”, said Mayor Schmidt

“It’s an opportunity to consider our shared past, present, and future, to listen to, and respect each other’s stories, and to honour the diverse contributions that make up the story of Australia.”

Charters Towers Regional Council encourages residents to take part in the Australia Day celebrations.
