Associate Professor Jeff Looi’s service to the AMA has been characterised by academic rigour and a keen sense of justice, bridging the gap between policy development at a national level and advocacy for colleagues in the workplace.
He was first elected to the AMA Federal Council in 2014, representing psychiatrists and serving with distinction of several committees, including the Committee for Healthy Ageing from 2004–2014.
His most outstanding work has been on the Mental Health Committee, which he chaired for many years. He has provided insight and guidance on all aspects of the AMA’s mental health policy and advocacy.
