GP | Medical Advisor Aboriginal Health, RACGP
Dr Tim Senior has worked as a GP at Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation, the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service in Campbelltown, South-West Sydney for the last 18 years. Prior to this he has worked in Central Australia, the Torres Strait and the UK, each time in low-income communities.
He is experienced in working with people of all ages with a complex mix of physical and mental health problems, often in challenging social circumstances, which has led to him advocating and working to ensure that health, social and environmental policies don’t contribute to poor health. To do this, Tim combines his clinical work with work as the Medical Advisor for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, and has been heavily involved in the development of guidelines and resources for all GPs working with First Nations Australians. Tim practices, teaches, develops policy and writes about general practice and primary care, particularly its role in working effectively in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.
