National Naidoc Awards

Congratulations to AMA (NSW) Member, Professor Kelvin Kong for receiving the 2023 National NAIDOC Person of the Year Award. Professor Kong has contributed so much to society by dedicating his career to early intervention and battling health inequalities across Australia. As Australia’s first Indigenous surgeon, Professor Kong has done incredible work raising awareness of chronic otitis media, which affects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children at levels higher than anywhere in the world. Professor Kong is an extremely worthy recipient of this award, and the AMA commends him on his remarkable achievement.
