HSANZ congratulates Dr David Joske AM on being appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2026 King’s Birthday Honours List for significant service to haematology and for pioneering the use of integrative oncology.
A respected haematologist, Dr Joske previously served as Head of Haematology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, where he helped shape haematology care and services in Western Australia.
He is also widely recognised as the founder of Solaris Cancer Care, established in 2001 to provide wellness and supportive care services to people living with cancer alongside conventional treatment. An early advocate for integrative oncology, his commitment to whole-person cancer care has positively impacted countless patients and families.
This well-deserved honour recognises Dr Joske’s outstanding contribution to haematology, cancer care and patient wellbeing over many decades.
HSANZ extends its warm congratulations to David on this significant achievement.
