Professor Richard Scolyer AO is a Medical Director of Melanoma Institute Australia, shared with his colleague, Professor Georgina Long AO. Together, they were named 2024 Australians of Year for their pioneering work in melanoma and for their work in applying that science to brain cancer.

He is widely regarded as the world's leading melanoma pathologist and one of the world's top melanoma researchers. In June 2021, Richard was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished service to medicine, particularly in the field of melanoma and skin cancer, and for his service to national and international professional organisations. He has also received multiple awards from many prestigious medical, research and pathology organisations worldwide, and represented Australia as an age-group triathlete.
