This medal commemorates Sir David Rivett (1885–1961), a pioneering Australian scientist and founding figure of the CSIR, later CSIRO.

His vision fostered collaboration between science and industry, strengthening both primary and secondary sectors. The David Rivett Memorial Fund, established in 1961, continues his legacy by supporting scientific excellence through the annual David Rivett Memorial Lecture, honouring his lasting contribution to Australian research.
