Thanks Jill.
Been absolutely a pleasure
to work with you.
True leader.
I am amazed at your skills
and rapid assessment
of situations.
Dr Jillian Tomlinson
Today is my last full day as
President of AMA Victoria,
with the state budget due
tomorrow and the official
handover event soon after.
It’s been a whirlwind
24 months – filled with
challenges, change, and
collaboration. I’ve had
the opportunity to lead
during a pivotal time for
Victorian healthcare, and
I’ve gained so much along
the way… including (since
this photograph was taken
in the early months of my
Presidency) a third child!
I’m incredibly proud of
what we’ve achieved
together. Rather than
listing those milestones
here, I’ll refer you to
AMA Victoria’s beautiful
and comprehensive
Presidential Farewell
posts (above).
An as-yet-unfinished
campaign that I believe
holds real promise for
systemic change is
'Getting Rid of Stupid
Stuff' – an initiative
to eliminate wasteful,
outdated, or duplicative
tasks that add no value to
patient care. To make this
a reality in Victoria, we
need your support. Please
sign and share the petition:

Thank you for your
extraordinarily effective
and such broad ranging
work Jill. Your impact
and legacy is significant.
This evening I’ll be joining
an AMA Victoria Section
of Psychiatry meeting, and
tomorrow afternoon, just
before the handover, I’ll
take part in a Department
of Health consultation on
the 10-year strategy for
a digitally enabled health
system. It's a fitting way
to round out this chapter.
To my colleagues at
AMA Victoria: thank you.
It’s been an honour.
With your united,
supportive and positive
approach, I know the
organisation’s future is in
strong and capable hands.

Thank you for all your

Thank you for you service
