Speakers
William Arnold Conolly Oration
Dr John Radunovich
John was born in Yugoslavia in 1932 and moved with his family to Manjimup, Western Australia in 1940. After studying medicine at Melbourne University, he set up permanently as a general practitioner in Kununoppin, 265 km northeast of Perth. He set new standards of care for Aboriginal patients and the elderly, and was active in advancing the ambulance service in much of the eastern wheat belt. During his long career, medical services in rural Western Australia changed constantly as populations of country towns diminished and medicine itself became more specialised. He relentlessly fought to ensure that country people were not disadvantaged by these changes, The quality of service in the bush, now and into the future, has been greatly influenced by the example that John has set.
