Strategic Advisory Board

The Strategic Advisory Board has been established to advise the CDU Menzies Medical Program on matters relating to the development of a new medical program at CDU and to advocate for its funding and establishment.

Within this context, the board’s responsibilities include:

  • providing advice on strategy, potential partners and appropriate curriculum to the CDU Menzies Medical Program on the design of a medical program that is fit-for-purpose for the Northern Territory and northern Australia more broadly.
  • being a strong advocate, on behalf of the program, with key stakeholders and decision-makers in the NT and nationally, for an NT Medical Program that is delivered by the CDU Menzies Medical Program.
  • assisting with the development of strategic collaborative arrangements that will support the program's mission.
