Wooden Surfboard Workshops
Build your own wooden surfboard in a three day workshop and take home your very own handmade hollow wooden surfboard. Using the latest construction methods, the boards don’t need to be fibreglassed therefore reducing the overall cost of making your board and the time to complete it.
Doing good and having a good time. A mix of work and play is what the members create for themselves on their annual trip. FAR LEFT: Dr. Mark Gillette of the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney at work.

ATOLL TRAVEL
Assisting with the clinical development of the Ambulance Service and Emergency Department at the Malé Indira Ghandi Hospital.
AMPED’s long association with Atoll Travel is testament to the service they provide. Around three quarters of Atoll Travel’s present day clientele have booked the same slot, year in, year out through Atoll Travel for some sixteen years. That’s some pretty serious client loyalty.
SMA Australia has installed a series of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) across three island village communities.
The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami produced a new set of problems in mental health for the country. A subgroup of the SMA, spearheaded by 2010 Australian of the year Professor Pat McGorry, is working with local authorities to develop a national mental health policy and plan to unlock new resources and programs.
Since the Maldives’ islands are spread over a large area, the challenge of providing contemporary health care can be greatly assisted by utilising both marine and aeromedical resources. SMA members are assisting local authorities to develop this.
