Aboriginal Leadership

The AMSANT Strategic Plan 2006-2009 prioritised the “identification and support of emerging leaders within our health services”.
AMSANT staff members were directed by member services to organise a ‘Leadership’ workshop to inspire and guide our young, emerging leaders. The first workshop was held in Alice Springs in October, 2006 and was praised by delegates as a great starting point for them to improve their leadership skills and consider their long-term career plans.
Oxfam Australia again kindly agreed to fund this workshop and they were instrumental in making it possible. The Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination (OIPC), the Fred Hollows Foundation and Imparja Television also contributed crucial funding and logistical support.
Kakadu National Park generously provided our camp-site, free of charge, and their East Alligator Rangers worked tirelessly to make our stay a comfortable and safe experience in the land of the crocodile.

Where are we now?
The AMSANT Leadership group is currently finalising an Operational Plan 2008—2011 to guide the leadership development of our aspiring leaders.
The plan will be considered by the AMSANT Committee (Board) before implementation and it is anticipated that another major leadership workshop will happen in the ‘dry season’ of 2008.
