Ray Page Lifetime Simulation Achievement Award

Ray Page Lifetime Simulation Achievement Award is for an outstanding contribution to the development of modelling and simulation science, technology, policy, standards and / or industry in Australia, made over a sustained period of activity.

This is a prestigious award, and not presented every year. The award is named after the inaugural winner, Mr Ray Page, who spent his career working with simulators and international standards at Qantas, and then as the founding Chairman of the then Simulation Industry Association of Australia.
