AGM HELD & NEW MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS ELECTED
At MND Queensland’s recent Annual General Meeting, we were excited to welcome four new members to our Management Committee — Dr Antony Winkel, Dr Hervey Lau, Chris Poole and Mark Kennerley. Each brings a wealth of experience, fresh energy, and a deep commitment to our mission.
Dr Antony Winkel brings exceptional clinical expertise as a neurologist and leader of the dedicated MND Clinic at Sunshine Coast University Hospital, along with his contributions to national MND clinical guidelines and mentoring of future clinicians. Dr Hervey Lau is a dual-specialist physician in Respiratory, Sleep, and General Medicine and currently serves as the Director of Thoracic Medicine and Director of Sleep Medicine at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH). He co-chairs the RBWH multidisciplinary MND clinic — Queensland’s largest — alongside neurologist Dr Robert Henderson. Chris is a senior leader and digital health specialist whose career spans hospitals, community health, and digital health. Known for understanding the real challenges facing healthcare organisations, he has helped turn around and scale providers and solutions to better meet the needs of patients and communities. Mark adds decades of commercial, financial, and governance experience, offering steady, strategic leadership to guide us through opportunities and challenges alike.
They join our dedicated continuing members — Diana, Keith, Katie and Paul — creating a strong, diverse team whose combined skills span clinical leadership, governance, mnd expertise, lived experience and community engagement. Together, they’ll guide MND Queensland’s strategic direction and ensure we remain a powerful voice and source of support for Queenslanders impacted by MND.
