New South Wales State Chair

Dr Simon Martel

I graduated from the University of New South Wales in 2002, and undertook training on the Westmead Rotational Scheme, being admitted to the Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in 2011. Since 2012 I have worked as a VMO anaesthetist in public and private practice in Sydney, as well as monthly lists in Inverell and Narrabri. I am also a prehospital and retrieval medicine specialist with CareFlight.

I have worked extensively across the ASA, ANZCA and the AMA in representative roles. I am currently both an ASA and AMA NSW Councillor, as well as a member of the ASA Economics Advisory Committee, and AMA NSW’s Hospital Practice Committee. Previous roles have included Co-Chair of the ANZCA Trainee Committee and the New Fellow representative on the ANZCA NSW Regional Committee.

I have a strong commitment to education. I am a member of NSW Anaesthesia Continuing Education Committee, and the founding organiser of the NSW Registrar Scientific Prize, which I started in 2012. I have previously been a member of several ANZCA education committees, as well as working with the Australian Medical Council, as part of several accreditation teams, to accredit various medical colleges.
