Description

The Adult Medicine Division (AMD) is a Division of the RACP that represents and connects Adult Medicine Fellows and trainees in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

About you

AMD Council has added 2 new roles to its membership:
  • a representative nominated by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Committee (ATSIHC)
  • a representative nominated by the Māori Health Committee (MHC)  
We are therefore seeking an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Representative to join AMD Council for a 3-year term. This member will assist the AMD President in guiding the governance framework and direction of the Division in a mutually co-operative and consultative atmosphere.

This position is open to Fellows and trainees of the College. The representative will be appointed by ATSIHC and then approved by the Board (3-year term to commence following Board approval). It is not mandatory for the representative to be a current member of ATSIHC.

Our commitment to inclusivity

The RACP is committed to inclusive and respectful committee environments, and to ensuring its governance structures reflect the breadth of perspectives across its membership and the communities it serves.
When assessing expressions of interest, the College considers skills and experience alongside the perspectives and lived experience applicants may bring. Any information shared is voluntary and will be treated respectfully.

The RACP recognises Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand, and acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Indigenous peoples of Australia and Pacific peoples as recognised within the Indigenous Strategic Framework.

Consistent with the RACP Constitution and the Indigenous Strategic Framework, and informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the College is committed to upholding Indigenous leadership, the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and ensuring cultural safety across committee environments.

This is not positioned as a subset of diversity, but reflects distinct status, leadership, rights, and contribution
