The CAV Honorary Fellowship is the highest award CAV can bestow upon a member for outstanding voluntary services to the Association and/or the Chinese community in Australia.
The Fellows have demonstrated dedicated service and leadership qualities in committee or community work and/or outstanding projects.
The success of CAV is due to the support and commitment of many dedicated members. This was recognized from its earliest days, and in 1995 CAV established a merit award system to recognize those loyal members who have made outstanding contributions to the Association. The late Dr. Robert Wong was Chairperson of the Subcommittee for Merit Awards from 1995-2003.

Honorary Fellows Board
Any CAV member, except for the HF Board members and the CAV President, may nominate CAV members
HF Board: Ken Ong, Mai Saw (Secretary), Leon Han (Chairman),
Shirley Teh (Treasurer), Brian Tyedin, Vincent Chow
In 2005, it was decided to formalize the award to an Honorary Fellowship award system and the CAV Honorary Fellowship Advisory Board was established by EXCO in September 2005. The foundation CAVHF Advisory Board comprised of Chooi Hon Ho OAM (Chair), Frank Chew OAM, Peter Ho, Richard Ong and Clement Wong. In accordance with HF Board rules, new members were appointed to the Advisory Board to replace retiring members.
At the 2015 AGM, to further streamline the process, the Honorary Fellowship Advisory Board (HFAB) was changed to the Honorary Fellows Board (HFB). Any CAV member, except for the HF Board members and the CAV President, may nominate CAV members. The revised Board and the CAV President will assess the Honorary Fellows nominees and recommend successful nominees for endorsement by the CAV members at the AGM.
Nominations for the Honorary Fellowship Awards are welcome from any CAV Financial Member at any time and must be received no later than 31st August for an award in the following year. The completed form should be forwarded to the Secretary of the CAV Executive Committee.
