An Australian doctor is among six professionals being honoured for their work by having Barbie dolls modelled on them.
Kirby White is an Australian doctor based in Victoria who pioneered Gowns for Doctors, an initiative behind surgical gowns that can be washed and reused by frontline workers during the pandemic.
Dr White was inspired to create the gowns after her clinic experienced a shortage just three weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
The initiative has produced more than 5,000 gowns since a GoFundMe campaign raised more than $40,000 to develop them.
Dr White has already won a Local Hero Award in the Australian of the Year Awards.
