Australian Digital Health Agency Chief Clinical Adviser (Medicine) Dr Amandeep Hansra has received the Australian Medical Association’s 2026 President’s Award for her contribution to digital health, medical innovation, doctors’ wellbeing and the care of vulnerable communities.
The award was announced at the AMA26 National Conference in Melbourne, with AMA President Dr Danielle McMullen highlighting Dr Hansra’s leadership in digital health and medical innovation.
“Dr Hansra has demonstrated outstanding leadership across digital health, medical innovation and doctors’ wellbeing, while maintaining a strong commitment to patient care,” Dr McMullen said.
“She has been at the forefront of shaping the future of healthcare and has helped thousands of doctors build meaningful and rewarding careers.”
Dr Hansra is a Sydney-based GP and Chief Clinical Adviser (Medicine) at the Australian Digital Health Agency and has held a number of senior leadership roles across digital health and telemedicine.
She is also the founder of Creative Careers in Medicine, a community of more than 25,000 doctors focused on career development, professional growth and connections across the profession.
Dr Hansra has also worked across Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, homeless health, refugee health, occupational medicine and travel medicine.
She said she was “incredibly honoured and genuinely surprised” to receive the award.
“I’ve always believed that doctors can make a difference far beyond the consulting room, through leadership, innovation, education and advocacy, while never losing sight of the patients and communities we serve,” Dr Hansra said.
“I hope this recognition also encourages more doctors to bring their unique skills into new areas of healthcare. Our profession has so much to offer in shaping the future of medicine and I hope more clinicians feel empowered to explore the many ways they can make a difference.”
