Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science are among the Nation's most distinguished scientists, elected by their peers for ground-breaking research and contributions that have had clear impact. 

Each year the Academy may elect up to 24 new Fellows by 'Ordinary Election' and up to four additional Fellows by 'Special Election'. In June 2025, the Fellowship comprised of 634 Fellows, including 132 women. 

The Academy's Council may also elect up to two Corresponding Members each year from among distinguished scientists overseas. As at June 2025 there were 39 Corresponding Members in the Academy. 

Congratulations to the 2025 new Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science.
