Mazars Partner, Mark Sheridan, was among 1040 Australians recognised at this year’s Australia Day honours for making a positive contribution to the nation. Mark received notification of the Medal of Order of Australia award from the Governor-General, the Honourable David Hurley, for his ongoing service to community health.
Throughout his career Mark has always maintained a strong passion and commitment for improved outcomes for society. Mark has served as a Board Member of the Queensland Eye Institute (QEI) since 2003 and is the current Chair of the Queensland Eye Institute following his appointment in 2011.

Mark’s contribution to the health community has been as part of the team developing QEI as one of Queensland’s largest independent medical research institutes with a focus on research, education and clinical care. The group currently serves over 26,000 patients (and nearly 9,000 hospital admissions) each year, while also conducting research programmes locally, and in co-operation with other national and international research bodies.
Mark has been a Partner of Mazars (formerly Hanrick Curran) since 2000 and served as the Managing Partner in the Brisbane office between 2012-2018.
