Actor Chris Hemsworth, Anglican Archbishop Phillip Aspinall and retiring foreign affairs department boss Frances Adamson are among the 1190 Australians honoured in the list released late on Sunday.

Ms Adamson, who is South Australia’s incoming governor, and Archbishop Aspinall were two of five people announced as recipients of the highest honour, appointed Companions (AC) in the general division of the Order of Australia.

The other three are Tasmania’s governor-designate Barbara Baker, scientist Professor Kurt Lambeck and Australian Ballet director David McAllister.

Judge Baker has been a passionate advocate for gender equality and tackling family violence issues, as well as being a role model for young lawyers.
