CITATION: Wendy Erglis

The Award has been given to you for the public attention that you have brought to the reprisals that the Queensland Government is capable of imposing on public officers who carry out their duty to disclose poor practices in their workplaces.

In particular, you have focussed public attention upon the disadvantages suffered by such public officers in their employment, career, good name, financial well being and enjoyment of life.

The nature of the original disclosures made by you is also acknowledged by the Group. Those disclosures continue the fine history of health industry professionals in receiving this Award, including its first recipient.

Your actions are seen to be meritorious because of the courage and integrity shown by you in circumstances where the full might and privilege of the Queensland Government was applied, and continues to be applied, against you and your example.
