In 1966 he was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George.

Writer Blanche d'Alpuget had intended to write a biography of Monk but was refused permission by Monk's widow, as she did not want the public to know that she was Monk's second wife.

D'Alpuget instead wrote a biography of Monk's successor as ACTU President and future Prime Minister Bob Hawke, whom she married in 1995.
