For thirteen years ending February 1924, Arthur Nyulasy, was the senior gynaecologist to the Perth Hospital in Western Australia.
After his death, his brother, Dr Francis Armand Nyulasy, bequeathed to the University the sum of £1,000 to fund a prize or scholarship in Arthur Nyulasy’s memory. Aligned with the Trust deed, this prize has been awarded annually to a student who has received a degree in Medicine at the University of Melbourne within the previous 10 years (but not less than one year) relevant to the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology who has made the most significant contribution to the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology through a thesis or other published research.
The prize, first awarded in 1938, is to be awarded by Council on the recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences who before making any such recommendation must consult the Head of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health.
