welcomeOn behalf of the Australasian Military Medicine Association (AMMA) and the Repat Foundation Inc. we welcome you to the Joint AMMA and Repat Foundation Inc. Conference.

The decision to collaborate on this conference was an easy one. Both organisations recognise that military and veterans’ health matters extend across the whole lifespan of the member, from the time they join the military, through periods of active operational or non-operational service including time within the reserve forces, post military service and ending in retirement and old age.

At this conference delegates will be provided with an opportunity for wider participation, valuable networking and an insight into research which may not have been showcased before.

page headingThe Conference will commence with The South Australian Reception – The South Australia’s Unique Position in Veterans’ Research, Health and Wellbeing which incorporates presentations on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial, the South Australian Unique Position in Veterans’ Health and Research by SAHMRI and recognition of The Repat Foundation Annual Grant Recipients. The Deputy Lord Mayor will also provide a Welcome to the City.

This year our Keynote Speakers are Major General John Cantwell – whose experiences serving overseas and his resultant struggle with emotional trauma has led to advocacy in ensuring that veterans receive the appropriate care during and after service. COL Timothy Hodgetts, who exemplifies our theme “Innovations from the Battlefield” and has led the world in battlefield first aid and trauma life support programs. Our second Graeme Shirtley Oration will be delivered by Dr Brendan Nelson, Director of the Australian War Memorial, who was serving as Minister for Defence when Graeme was SGADF and Patron of AMMA.

Voices of Veterans will be delivered by Bob Walter, Sergeant Sarah Webster and Bronson Horan – an inspiring and moving presentation of the lives of returned veterans and their experiences of combat injury and living with the consequences.

Don’t forget to vote in our inaugural Battlefield Photo Competition which will be on display in the foyer and the Weary Dunlop Award for best conference presentation – this can be done through your conference app. And something that everyone looks forward to after a long day in the conference room, a chance to kick up your heels – or be entertained by everyone else doing so – at the Conference Dinner with a chance to win a Penfolds Bottle of Grange in our raffle.

MAJOR-GENERAL JOHN CANTWELL AO, DSC (Retired)

Major-General Cantwell joined the Australian Army as a private in 1974, rising through the ranks to become a General. He commanded troops at almost every level in the Army. He saw combat action in the first Gulf War in 1991 and again served on operations in Baghdad in 2006. In 2010 he was the commander of all Australian forces in Afghanistan and the wider Middle East area of operations, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for leadership in action. He has twice been recognised in the Order of Australia awards, and received the United States Legion of Merit. He retired from the Army in 2012 after 38 years of service. His book “Exit Wounds” is the compassionate and deeply human account of his combat experiences and resultant struggle with emotional trauma. Major-General Cantwell is the Patron or Ambassador for several veterans’ health organisations and is a prominent advocate for the care of veterans suffering emotional trauma resulting from their military service.

DR BRENDAN NELSON

Dr Brendan Nelson commenced as Director of the Australian War Memorial on 17 December 2012. Prior to this, he was the Australian Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, the European Union and NATO (2009–12). Apart from overseeing a major transformation in Australia’s relationships with the European Union and NATO, Dr Nelson forged deep links with the communities of Flanders, where almost 13,000 Australians lost their lives during the First World War. He regularly made the trip from Brussels to the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial at Ieper, where the names of 6,190 Australians who died in the First World War and have no known grave are listed.

On 2 March 1996 Dr Nelson was elected to the Federal Parliament of Australia. In 2006 he became Minister for Defence when troops were deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor and the Solomon Islands. He oversaw major new investments in defence including the decision to purchase 24 FA-18F super hornets, three air warfare destroyers, two Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs), two additional battalions for the Australian army and a multibillion dollar recruitment and retention package. In November 2007 Dr Nelson was elected leader of the Liberal Party of Australia, serving as Leader of the Opposition until September 2008. The following year he retired from federal politics before taking up his ambassadorial appointment.

COLONEL TIMOTHY HODGETTS, CBE, OStJ (UK)

Colonel Hodgetts was first appointed as Professor of Emergency Medicine in 1998 at the European Institute of Health and Medical Sciences, then at the University of Birmingham from 2001 to date. He was the inaugural Defence Professor of Emergency Medicine with the College of Emergency Medicine (2007-2010) and the Penman Foundation Professor of Surgery for 2011.

Within the Defence Medical Services Colonel Hodgetts has been responsible for nurturing the specialty of emergency medicine from infancy to maturity. He has implemented concept, doctrine, equipment and practice changes to transform the early management of combat injury (point of wounding to the field hospital). He introduced and led major trauma governance in UK Defence from 1997-2010.

Colonel Hodgetts’ passion for medical education has led to the development and propagation of an international ‘comprehensive approach’ to disaster medical preparedness in Europe, Asia, Australasia and NATO (Major Incident Medical Management and Support); since 2002 he has developed the National Disaster Preparedness Course for Hospitals within India, supported by the British Council, British High Commission and the United Nations. He has led the development of Battlefield First Aid and Battlefield Advanced Trauma Life Support programmes, as well as numerous civilian emergency care curricula.
