Olivia Newton-John receives the Companion of the Order of Australia

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.”

It was my honour to present the Companion of the Order of Australia to Olivia Newton-John in Los Angeles on Tuesday. _ Olivia is one of the world’s best selling artists of all time with a long musical and acting career. She was recognised by our nation not just because we are proud of her but because she changed the world in so many ways - including as a champion for women’s cancer care and as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. Olivia is one of the most optimistic people I have ever met. I was proud to share the special moment alongside her wonderful family and friends. Congratulations @therealonj and thank you for all you’ve done for Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
