Jodi Duyster, AMP National Director, named as a South Australian finalist for the 2009 Telstra Business Women’s Awards

Jodi, National Director of Australian Medical Placements was one of South Australia’s 6 finalists for the Hudson private sector award in the 2009 Telstra Business Women's Awards.

Telstra Business Women's Awards ambassador Holly Kramer said she was excited about the high standard of entrants, despite the tough economic times.

"We have received entries of an exceptionally high standard this year and these finalists represent some truly inspirational and talented South Australian business women.''

Since Jodi joined the company in 2003, she has been involved in most areas of the business, and watched it grow from $700k annual turnover to over $5 million.

Passionate about learning and leading her staff, Jodi actively participates in mentoring and is always looking for ways to encourage and recognise outstanding performance.

She’s of the belief that if you're not exposed to new things then you won’t ever know if you're being left behind – which is particularly true of her conversations with her children!

Jodi is a mother of two teenage children as well as holding her position with AMP and attributes motherhood to giving her the extra drive to succeed in her career allowing her to take on anything thrown her way.

AMP Sponsors Bancroft Oration

AMA Queensland’s COOLEST speaker yet…
Dr Peter Sullivan, “Medicine on Ice”














"In the tradition of Dr Joseph Bancroft, AMA Queensland presented a keynote speaker of significant implication, dedication and contribution to medicine.

Dr Peter Sullivan, former Medical Research Officer to the Australian Antarctic Division, breaks the ice on thermal physiology, diving medicine, hypothermia, frostbite and the isolation, confined conditions and extreme wilderness medicine. Surviving the Antarctic means you wear different beanies throughout your posting. You are a doctor, health care provider, medical researcher, behavioural therapist, a nutritionalist, a physiologist, a very fast learner on internet-based telemedicine techniques and most importantly, you need to be a survivor.















The Antarctic region, one of our last frontiers of science, holds an enormous attraction to most people because of its isolation and splendour in extremity, and most of us relish the opportunity to listen to the tales of those who return from its clutches. Dr Sullivan first joined the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1982 and spent three year-long periods as Medical Officer at various Antarctic Stations. He held the position of Medical Research Officer to the Australian Antarctic Division from 1989 until 2002. Dr Sullivan has written on hypothermia and cold injuries for several internation

al textbooks and studied prevention and management of cold injuries while a Churchill Fellow. He lived to tell the tale.

The 100 or so attendees at the Bancroft Oration included AMA Queensland President, Dr Mason Stevenson, President Elect Dr Gino Pecoraro, medical professionals, AMA Queensland Branch
Councillors, administration, students and invited Queensland Health government dignitaries."
