John Dommett

John Dommett (1946 – 8 January 2004) was an Australian actor, writer and director in regular demand on stage and television.

Dommett is probably best known to international audiences for his portrayal, between 1976 and 1979, of Dr. Jim Howard, one of the original characters in Channel Nine's long-running soap opera The Young Doctors.

The Performing Arts Conservatory in Brisbane awards a yearly medal in John's honour for outstanding industry achievement to a graduate working in the professional industry for either theatre, television or film achievement.

John was to come on staff as a teacher at the Conservatory in 2003 when his health precluded his continuing work there.

John was himself a recipient of a Queensland Matilda Award for best actor when he won for his performance in 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' produced in Brisbane at the Powerhouse Theatre which was directed by a Performing Arts Conservatory Graduate Andre Seager.
