The Centenary Medal is an award given by the Australian Government in 2001.[1] It was set up to celebrate the Centenary of Federation of Australia and to honour people who have made a contribution to Australian society or government. Possible winners were studied by a group headed by the historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey.[1]
