Dr Matt Bray: Finalist for the Australian Medical Association (Victoria) Junior Doctor of the Year 2025

We are thrilled to share that OPHA Board Member, Dr Matt Bray has been named as a finalist for the Australian Medical Association (Victoria) Junior Doctor of the Year 2025!

Dr Matt shares, "Emergency medicine has always felt like the welcoming front door of the hospital: a place of equity and inclusion where everyone’s story matters. To be recognised for trying to live those values, through clinical work, advocacy and Pacific health equity, means a lot."

"From Melbourne to the Pacific and beyond, I’m continually reminded how culture, identity and compassion can transform care."

You can read the feature in the Vicdoc magazine: Vicdoc, Spring 2025 — “Celebrating Commitment” (pp. 24–27) or below.

Congratulations Dr Matt on this wonderful achievement!
