Fellow of the Royal Society of Victoria
The Fellowship of the Royal Society of Victoria is an historically recent college made up of about 30 Australian scientists and proponents of scientific literacy.
Fellows judged by their peers to have made an exceptional contribution to their field and/or to the public appreciation of science may be elected to Fellowship of the Society. Fellows are often denoted using the post-nominal FRSV (Fellow of the Royal Society of Victoria).
Fellows are appointed for life; this table also contains deceased fellows.

| 1995 | Phillip Garth Law | Director, Antarctic Division, Department of External Affairs and Leader of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions 1949-1966. He founded the Mawson, Davis and Casey bases in Antarctica. | 1912 | 2010 | [4] |
| 1996 | Jerry McKee Adams | Noted for his achievements in molecular biology, immunology and the molecular genetics of cancer with wife Suzanne Cory. | 1940 | [5] | |
| 1996 | Suzanne Cory | Director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research from 1996 to 2009. With husband Jerry Adams, one of the first two scientists to pioneer gene cloning techniques in Australia, and to successfully clone mammalian genes. | 1942 | [6] | |
| 1996 | Clive Keith Coogan | An inventor and expert in solid state physics who also went on to work in science education and promote pathways for the development of the Australian scientific instrument manufacturing industry. | 1925 | 2005 | [7] |
| 1996 | Gustav Joseph Victor Nossal | Director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research 1965-1996 and Professor of Medical Biology at the University of Melbourne. Distinguished for his contributions to the fields of antibody formation and immunological tolerance. | 1931 | [8] | |
| 1996 | Arvi Hillar Parbo | Company Director of a variety of companies, in the fields of science and finance. | 1926 | 2019 | [9] |
| 1996 | Graeme Ivan Pearman | Chief of CSIRO Atmospheric Research from 1992 to 2002. His research has been mostly in the field of atmospheric composition and in particular the global carbon cycle. | 1941 | [10] | |
| 1996 | John A Talent | Distinguished paleontologiest, paleobiologist and Earth scientist. Recognised as committed advocate for research integrity in his field. | [11] | ||
| 1999 | James Maurice Bowler | A geomorphologist focussed on the landforms and soils in arid and semi-arid areas of Australia, investigating the hydrology of ancient Australia and how water levels in Australia tied into global climatic events. While doing fieldwork in the Willandra Lakes in 1968 he discovered the cremated remains of what came to be called Mungo Lady, exposed on the surface of the soil and at risk of erosion and destruction. This and subsequent discoveries provided evidence of Aboriginal presence in Australia for much longer than had been supposed. | 1930 | [12] | |
| 1999 | Nancy Fannie Millis | Professor of Microbiology at the University of Melbourne 1982-1991. One of the pioneers of the study of fermentation technology and a champion of gene technology development in Australia. | 1922 | 2012 | [13] |
| 2001 | Yvonne Aitken | An agricultural scientist whoe research centred on how plant species adapt to climate through the differing flowering responses of early and late varieties and how this in turn affects the growing period. She contributed to the search for better crop and pasture species for Australia by increasing our understanding of genetic factors within a species that control reproductive development in different seasons and climates. | 1911 | 2004 | [14] |
| 2001 | Martin Robert Harris | A medtech inventor and co-founder of Optiscan, a company concerned with the development, manufacture and commercialisation of endomicroscopic imaging technologies for medical, tranlational and pre-clinical applications. | [15] | ||
| 2001 | Barry Jones | Polymath and political advocate for the sciences | |||
| 2001 | John Lovering | ||||
| 2004 | Thomas A Darragh | ||||
