The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) is pleased to announce the appointment of new representatives to the College Board and Council.
These leaders will play a crucial role in guiding ACRRM through the next phase of its Strategic Plan, ensuring the College’s ongoing impact on the health of rural, remote, and First Nations communities.
The appointments come on the heels of the recent announcement of president-elect Dr Rod Martin.
All incoming representatives will officially assume their roles following the ACRRM Annual General Meeting, taking place in Garramilla (Darwin, NT) this October.
ACRRM President Dr Dan Halliday congratulates those who have been appointed and highlights the exceptional quality of candidates who nominated for available positions.
“Our Board and Council are the decision-making bodies of the College, ensuring that members’ voices are represented across training, ongoing professional development, governance, advocacy, and more.
“In making Board and Council appointments, we’ve been mindful of reviewing our governing bodies diversity as a whole, and our commitment to maintaining a balance of skills, experiences, and demographics to best reflect our membership and the communities we serve.
“With the launch of a new strategic plan earlier this year, growth in the number of registrars choosing the ACRRM Fellowship program, and our expansion in regions across the nation, this is an exciting time to be part of the College’s governance structure” Dr Halliday says.
Joining the College Board in October are Dr John Hall and Dr Shannon Nott.
Joining the College Council are Dr Claire Arundell (Vic), Dr Angus Brown (NSW/ACT); and Dr Aaron Hawkins (Tas).
“At this time, I would also like to take the opportunity to especially thank outgoing directors, Drs Anthony Carpenter and Robert Worswick for their contribution in ensuring ACRRM continues to chart a steady course through College-led training and the somewhat turbulent times the sector is facing,” Dr Halliday adds.
