Margaret Tobin Challenge Award

The Challenge Award was renamed to the Margaret Tobin Challenge Award in December 2002. The renaming of the award was to recognise the late Dr Margaret Tobin’s contribution to RACMA and for her passion in developing leadership in the field of mental health.

This Challenge award is presented to the highest calibre Candidate presentation (12 minutes) aligned to the conference theme or sub themes.

Presentations should be limited to a maximum of 12 minutes, with a further three minutes allocated to questions.

The Award will be presented to the Candidate who presents a paper of the highest quality in the opinion of the judging panel. This panel will comprise the Censor in Chief, and Chairs Continuing Education Program Committee and Education and Training Committee.

State/Territory/New Zealand Committees are asked to encourage a number of Candidates to present a paper for the Award. These are then shortlisted and a Candidate representative is nominated and declared to the National Office.
