BJ Thompson Prize – for outstanding achievement in Public Policy at the 200 level

Members of the Royal Institute of Public Administration Tasmania (now IPAA) officers of the State Public Service, and friends and associates of B.J. Thompson, Esquire (former Public Service Commissioner for Tasmania) wanted to record their appreciation of his work in the field of public administration. They donated a sum to endow a prize in his honour, in public administration. The University Council agreed to the foundation of a prize in 1966.
