Consisting of doctors who do WorkCover, TAC and medico legal work, the Subcommittee meets on the first Wednesday of each alternate month at 7am.
 

Women in Medicine Special Interest Group

The Women in Medicine special interest group is an avenue for female doctors and medical students from across Victoria to network with colleagues and address issues of mutual concern. Women in Medicine group events regularly feature eminent female medical practitioners who talk about their careers in medicine.

If you would like to be involved in organising the Women in Medicine events, the group is always looking for volunteers to assist with:

Retired Doctors Special Interest Group

The Retired Doctors group meets regularly to discuss the needs of the sector and to establish social and networking opportunities for retired doctors. Social luncheons are held several times a year with topical guest speakers presenting on current and relevant issues affecting retired doctors.
 

Section of Psychiatry

The committee discusses current issues experienced by themselves or their colleagues working in the craft group at all levels. The Section is also called upon for feedback on important issues like the recent Mental Health Act. The committee is elected once a year at the annual AGM Dinner, but expressions of interest to attend meetings are welcome at any time.
