Later given the honour of naming the newly discovered species, he named it Irwin's turtle (Elseya irwini) after his family.[38] Another newly discovered Australian animal – a species of air-breathing land snail, Crikey steveirwini, was named after Irwin in 2009.[39]

Irwin was awarded the Centenary Medal by the Australian government in 2001 for his "service to global conservation and to Australian tourism".[40] In 2004, he was recognised as Tourism Export of the Year.[41] He was also nominated in 2004 for Australian of the Year but it was awarded to Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh,[42] while Irwin was named 2004 Queensland Australian of the Year.[43] Shortly before his death, Irwin was to be named an adjunct professor at the University of Queensland's School of Integrative Biology. On 14 November 2007, Irwin was awarded the adjunct professorship posthumously.[44]

Irwin was inducted in 2009 into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame, recognised for international entrepreneurship both in business and wildlife conservation, significantly contributing to Queensland and its international reputation[49] and in 2015, Irwin was a posthumous recipient of the Queensland Greats Awards.[50] In 2017 it was announced that Irwin would be posthumously honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[51][52] The star was unveiled 26 April 2018.[53] On 22 February 2019, the 57th anniversary of Irwin's birth, the search engine Google released a Google Doodle commemorating him, in the form of a slideshow.[
