Mr. Leon Stubbings joined the Australian Red Cross Society in 1949 and was appointed Secretary-General six years later, a position he held until 1988. During his 38-year career, L. Stubbings went on many relief and development missions in Asia and Africa. He represented his country's National Society in the governing bodies of the League of Red Cross Societies (now known as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) and was a member of many of the Movement's committee and study groups. He participated in particular in the working group on the revision of the Movement's Statues from 1982 to 1985 and for ten years, in the Commission on the Red Cross, Red Crescent and Peace.
Honoured by seven National Societies, Leon Stubbings was awarded the Henry Dunant Medal in 1989, the highest distinction given by the Movement.
