Our Advisory Group
​

An Advisory Group to the Chair and Board has been established to draw on the knowledge of highly experienced and respected people in gastroenterology and areas relevant to ANZGITA’s work, e.g. Indo-Pacific politics/diplomacy, cultural awareness and philanthropy.

The aim is to obtain high level guidance on issues we should be considering, our plans, possible future steps and connections. In some situations, members may also be in a position to advocate on our behalf.  The Group’s meetings are chaired by Prof Finlay Macrae, ANZGITA Chair.
