Advisory board

A second opinion on everything we build

Two former RACGP national vice-presidents — one of them a former federal president — practising GPs from Brisbane to Perth, and a health strategist four decades into the sector. They advise on standards, governance and where Conference.care goes next.

General practice · standards and governance

Former federal president of the RACGP (2008–2010) and vice-president before that (2006–2008), Chris has spent more than 35 years in rural general practice in northern New South Wales. He has sat on the college's National Expert Committee for Standards, its Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and the General Practice Data Governance Council, and led the adoption and change programme at the National E-Health Transition Authority. He was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2013 for services to general practice.

He led the negotiations behind Queensland's payroll tax settlement for general practice and helped return GP training to the college. In 2024 he received the Rose-Hunt Award, the RACGP's highest individual honour.
