The Dorothy Hill Medal is awarded annually and honours the contributions of the late Professor Dorothy Hill to Australian Earth science and her work in opening up tertiary science education to women.

The award supports research in the Earth sciences by female researchers up to 10 years post doctorate for research carried out mainly in Australia.

Prior to 2018 the award was known as the Dorothy Hill Award.

2017 Joanne Whittaker Fundamental contributions to understanding of the relationships between deep and surface processe, a new framework for understanding the breakup of supercontinent Pangaea, particularly the evolution of the ocean basins surrounding Australia.
2016 Andréa Sardinha Taschetto Major contributions to the understanding of large-scale oceanographic/atmospheric phenomena in the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans.
2015 Nerilie Abram Pioneering research addressing the past behaviour of the Earth's climate system, and implications for anthropogenic climate change.
2014 Maria Seton Significant contributions to global plate tectonics, longterm sea-level change, global geodynamics and back-arc basin formation, redefined tectonic plate reconstructions.
2013 Lisa Alexander How climate extremes are changing globally and over Australia, providing convincing evidence that future changes in the frequency and intensity of heatwaves in Australia will be strongly dependent on the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
2012 Karen H. Black Continent-wide research focused on the evolution of Australia's mammals, correlating changes over time with global palaeoclimatic events to provide new evidence-based understanding about current and probable future climate-driven changes in Australian biodiversity.
2011 Kirsten Benkendorff Significant advances across environmental research, aquaculture and human health.
2010 Nicole Webster Reef bacterial symbiotic relationships and the impact of environmental stressors, discovery of a response of spawning corals to bacterial biofilms.
2009 Daniela Rubatto Discovered a key relationship that exists in high grade metamorphic rocks between the timing of mineral growth, and the geochemical signature in Ubearing accessory minerals.
2008 Sandra McLaren Contributions to the understanding of continental tectonics, thermochronology, microstructural and basin analysis.
2007 Leanne Armand Comprehensive taxonomic treatment of Southern Ocean diatom, added rigour to the study of diatoms by applying statistical analysis, increasing the degree of confidence in the reconstruction of sea water temperatures of the past.
2006 Adriana Dutkiewicz Exceptional contributions to early Precambrian petroleum geology, the first to discover oil inclusions preserved in Archaean and early Precambrian rocks and to demonstrate that primordial biomass was sufficiently abundant to generate hydrocarbon, shown that eukaryotes survived extreme climatic events including higher temperatures than previously accepted.
