Stewart Condon (ON 1992)
President Medecins Sans Frontierers Australia

When Dr Stewart Condon joined Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) he travelled to Sudan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, where the need for medical aid was the greatest at the time.  MSF runs hospitals and clinics, performs surgeries, battles epidemics, carries out vaccination campaigns, operates feeding centres and offers mental healthcare for millions of people in over 70 countries who are caught up in the humanitarian crises of natural disasters, famines, epidemics, armed conflicts or refugee exodus.

After completing his medical studies, Stewart developed his practitioner skills in Sydney, quickly taking them to the remote aboriginal communities of the Northern Territory as a rural medical practitioner.

His first assignment as a field doctor with MSF led to subsequent missions as project coordinator and country medical coordinator, working for both the Paris and Amsterdam Operational Centres of MSF. Stewart continues to contribute to MSF by serving as a member of the MSF-Australia board of directors.

In recent years, Stewart has diversified his clinical experience in emergency departments, prisons and remote area clinics with non-clinical roles. He was with International SOS for four years, leading their medical case management and undertaking medical director responsibilities for the platform.

With experience in the public sector, the corporate environment and the non-government organisation (NGO) arena, Stewart has a unique perspective on medicine. He is currently President of Medecins Sans Frontieres Australia.
