Welcome AMAV President & the future of healthcare in Victoria

Written by bongiorno group

Strong leadership in medicine requires both clinical insight and a passion for advocacy — and Simon Judkins brings both to his new role as President of AMA Victoria.

 

In this episode, the Bongiorno Group’s Executive Consultant Trevor Baxter speaks with Dr Simon Judkins, Director of Emergency Medicine at Echuca Regional Health and a respected voice in healthcare reform. With a career spanning frontline emergency care, leadership at Austin Health, and presidency of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, Simon shares what motivated him to lead AMA Victoria.

 

He discusses the pressing issues facing Victorian doctors today — from workforce burnout to fractured hospital systems — and outlines AMA Victoria’s priorities, including advocacy, member engagement, and driving systemic improvements across regional and metropolitan healthcare services.
