Since 1915 there have been fifteen Australians awarded the Nobel Prize.[1] Almost half of these prizes (eight) have been awarded in the field of Physiology or Medicine[2] Most Australians awarded Nobel prizes before the end of the awarding of British/Imperial honours (in 1992) also received (or were offered) knighthoods.
This list includes laureates who were not born in Australia, but who nevertheless spent a significant portion of their training or career there.
In 2017, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, which was launched in Australia, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
