AMA Queensland Foundation Charity Gala
Oh what a night! The AMA Queensland Foundation Charity Gala was an elegant affair, bringing together members and guests to raise money for family violence support services.
Guests gathered at a unique venue converted from a 1920s bank and enjoyed drinks and Japanese-inspired canapes while having the chance to move around and mingle.
Our MC, Dr Oliver Wightman, Chair of One For Health Australia, tamed the rowdy crowd to introduce AMA Queensland Foundation Chair Dr Dilip Dhupelia who discussed recent achievements. Dr Dhupelia introduced keynote speaker Co-Chair, Queensland Government Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council and Chair of the Allison Baden-Clay Foundation, Vanessa Fowler OAM.
