Catholic Homes has shared the wonderful news that Associate Professor Rosanna Capolingua, a valued member of the Catholic Homes Board, has been honoured with the prestigious Member of the Order of Australia in the 2023 King's Birthday Honours. This esteemed recognition was announced by the Honorable David Hurley, the Governor-General of Australia, in acknowledgment of Prof Capolingua's exceptional contributions to patient care, medicine, and her inspiring role as a female leader.

Catholic Homes Board Chairman John Ogilvie extends his warmest congratulations to Prof Capolingua for this well-deserved accolade. He expresses great delight in learning about her achievement and recognises the immense fortune of having someone as talented and dedicated as Prof Capolingua sharing her remarkable skills with the organisation.
