Biography and career
Giese was a third-generation descendant of a German family who migrated to Australia in the 1870s.[1][2][3][4] In 1954, after senior public service jobs in Western Australia and Queensland,[5] he moved to Darwin as the Director of Welfare in the Northern Territory Administration.[6][7] He was the longest-serving member of the Northern Territory Legislative Council, from 1954 to 1973.
After Cyclone Tracy Giese headed the Darwin Disaster Welfare Council and in 1978, after Territory self-government, he became the first Northern Territory Ombudsman.[8][9][10]
As founding Chairman of the NT Committee of the Menzies Foundation he was instrumental in the establishment of the Menzies School of Health Research,[11][12] serving on its Board of Governors and as Deputy Chairman from 1985 to 1995. The School is now one of Australia's leading medical research institutes, and a global leader in tropical research into life-threatening illnesses. Harry Giese's obituary in the Menzies Foundation Annual Report 1999 said that ‘the continuing contribution made...to the health of northern Australians is a tribute to the vision, the enthusiasm and the advocacy of Harry Giese, who first identified the need for such a School, and who later vigorously pursued its establishment and strongly supported its work.'
He was made a Member of the Order of Australia and an Honorary Fellow of the University of Sydney.
Giese was Foundation President and honorary Life Member of numerous community service and sporting organisations, including the Royal Life Saving Society Australia, Darwin Probus Club, Darwin Disaster Welfare Council after the 1974 destruction of Cyclone Tracy, and the Institute of Public Administration.[13][14]
