AMA Tasmania regrets to announce A/Prof Tim Greenaway has informed the AMA Tasmania Board he will be stepping down effective immediately from his role as President of AMA Tasmania.

A/Prof Greenaway has accepted the position of Principal Medical Advisor of the Health Products Regulation Group in the Commonwealth Department of Health.

AMA Tasmania CEO Tony Steven said A/Prof Greenaway has been a great servant of AMA Tasmania, along with many other Tasmanian health committees and boards for a number of years.

“After taking on the role of President in April 2014, Tim has worked tirelessly to better the health of Tasmanians, advocate for positive chance in the Tasmanian health system and improve the working conditions of AMA Tasmania members,” said Mr Steven.

“Tim presided over AMA Tasmania during the development of the state wide Tasmanian Health Service, worked closely with the Tasmanian Government through the Healthy Tasmania Committee to develop a raft of initiatives outlined in the Healthy Tasmania Five Year Strategic Plan, and implemented a new award for medical professionals.”

AMA Tasmania Vice President Dr Stuart Day will step into the role of Acting President until a new President is appointed at AMA Tasmania’s next Board meeting.
