Dr Keith Mutimer AM

Few have given as much to Interplast as Dr Keith Mutimer AM. Keith commenced with Interplast in 1984 as a surgeon to the Philippines. Since that initial trip, Keith has undertaken 18 international programs and has left a lasting positive legacy in every location he has served. In recognition of his contribution to
international development and surgery, the Sri Lankan College of Plastic Surgeons recognised Keith as an Honoury Fellow.

In addition to his surgical skills, Keith served as a Company Director, Vice President and most recently President, retiring at the Annual General Meeting in 2020. Today, Keith serves Interplast as a Company Member appointed by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Whilst his titles may have differed throughout his involvement, his passion for Interplast’s work, and his ongoing advocacy and championing of the organisation makes him a worthy recipient of the title, Honoured Member.

Recently recognised in the Australia Day Honours for his international service, and acknowledged by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons as the recipient of the RACS International Medal, it is timely and appropriate that Keith Mutimer be acknowledged for his commitment and dedication to the organisation.

Ms Marion Wrigh

In recognising Marion Wright, the Board wished to acknowledge her contribution to the initial establishment and success of Interplast. Marion was the inaugural General Manager of Interplast for a number of years and amongst the early visionaries to grow the organisation from concept to where we are today.

Marion’s initial engagement with Interplast was as a volunteer, where she proved instrumental in the establishment of the organisation. She took Interplast from an emerging NGO to its long-term base at the College of Surgeons.

In her capacity as an initial leader within the organisation, Marion formed some of the lasting overseas and volunteer partnerships still nurtured by Interplast today. Whilst her role with the organisation has changed, Marion remains a champion of our work, and regularly engages with the CEO and staff team, taking an active role in the strategic objectives and work of Interplast.

All would agree that Marion Wright is a most worthy recipient of the title, Honoured Member.
