“I’m honoured to step into the role of Chief
Executive Officer of AMA Victoria, and
grateful to the Board for their confidence
and trust,” says Seshan.
Seshan says his first priority as CEO is to
build a strong internal foundation.

His longer-term goals are to deliver value
to members, and to establish AMA Victoria
as the organisation Victorian doctors
increasingly turn to for support and as
an indispensable advisor to the Victorian
and Federal Governments on any serious
health issue.
“A strong healthcare system is only as
good as its medical workforce and the
structures that support doctors within that.
You can't deliver safe, high-quality care on
the back of a workforce that's demoralised or
unsupported. Culture is what binds and holds
organisations and systems together when
the pressure comes on; I’m looking forward
to focusing on that. I'm excited for the
advocacy and challenges ahead.”
Seshan is also a registered physiotherapist,
and a father of two. Away from work he is
focused on family, and a big sports fan.
