Community Service Awards

The Community Service Award (AMA Tasmania)

At its meeting in March 1996, the Branch Council of the Tasmanian Branch of the Australian Medical Association resolved that it would establish an AMA Community Service Medal which would be available as from 1997 and would be awarded to individuals who were not members of the AMA, who were deemed by Branch Council to have given extraordinary service to the medical profession and the cause of medical practice within Tasmania.

A special medal was struck for this purpose and the Executive Committee of the Branch Council decided in September, 1996, that the inaugural presentation would be made at the 1997 Annual Dinner of the Tasmanian Branch of the Association to a person who was judged to eminently fit the criteria established by Branch Council for selection to the prestigious award.
