In 2015 Kirsty Sword Gusmão AO was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Australia for her distinguished service to Australia-East Timor relations through the development of mutual co-operation and understanding.
Living between Melbourne and Timor-Leste, Dr Kirsty Sword Gusmao AO is the founder of the Alola Foundation and the Chair of the Xanana Gusmao Reading Room which she established in 2000.
