Profile
Dr Ava Carter
Appointed Director, Trainee
Dr Ava Carter is a dental surgeon and medical doctor, currently specialising in consultation liaison psychiatry and developing her skills in medical administration and management. She is passionate about collaborating to improve outcomes and drive system change in organisations in the healthcare sector, and is driven to elevate the voices of others, particularly in healthcare education and lived experience.
Ava holds a ministerial appointed position with Canberra Regional Medical Education Council (CRMEC) alongside several other panels in the healthcare sector related to education, compliance, accreditation and regulation. She is particularly passionate about governance, cyber safety and regulatory compliance. Ava is a strong believer that the intersection of these areas helps organisations best serve their communities by prompting them to find out of the box solutions to difficult problems with a “profit for purpose” mindset.
Clinically, Ava has worked in public health services, in allied health, and in the private health sector, and currently holds an operational role as Senior Registrar at Canberra Health Services. She has been involved with the College since her first year of training and has been Chair of the Social and Scientific Engagement Committee (SSEC) in the ACT Branch since 2022. Ava was appointed by the Board as the Appointed Director, Trainee, for a one-year term from 31 May 2023 and was reappointed for a further one-year term from May 2024 to May 2025.
