Olivia Newton-John has been recognised for her work as an entertainer and philanthropist.
The singer has received Australia's highest honour, the Companion of the Order of Australia, and was presented her medal by ambassador Joe Hockey in Los Angeles.
She's known for her iconic role in Grease opposite John Travolta, but she's also well known for her charity work - having established the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne.

“You are being recognised by your nation not just because we are proud of you but because you have changed the world,” Joe Hockey said, as reported in The Australian.
“It is not just because of your singing, songwriting, acting - that’s the stuff that has lit up so many faces … but you are doing it now from a philanthropy perspective, simply by illustrating to the world you never give up. You never walk away from any challenge. You are the most optimistic person I have ever met.”
