2017–2025Practitioner Board MemberMedical Board of Australia (AHPRA)
A/Prof George Eskander served as a Practitioner Board Member on the Medical Board of Australia (AHPRA) for over seven years.
Western Australia Board
Trusted Leadership in Medical Regulation
As a long-serving Practitioner Member of the Medical Board of Australia (AHPRA), A/Prof Eskander regularly engaged with high-stakes matters relating to governance, professional misconduct, unethical conduct, and public safety breaches.
He was called upon to represent SAT hearings involving serious allegations, including misleading the Board, breaches of professional standards, and failures in clinical care. His role demanded a nuanced understanding of legal frameworks, practitioner regulation, and the ethical obligations of the medical profession - responsibilities he carried out with diligence and impartiality.
Fair process
Considering evidence carefully, applying the relevant standard and respecting the limits of the decision-maker’s role.
Professional responsibility
Weighing competence, conduct, communication and remediation in context rather than as isolated labels.
Proportionate judgement
Making decisions that are defensible, fair and matched to the risk before the Board.
A Lifetime of Public Service
Commitment to Governance, Ethics, and Public Trust
George’s Board service sits alongside clinical practice, executive health-system leadership, accreditation, workforce reform and medical education. His work across Australia and the United Kingdom has consistently brought him close to the systems that define, test and improve professional standards.
Health-system leadership
Executive roles across public and private healthcare have given George direct responsibility for clinical quality, safety, operations and workforce.
Accreditation and assurance
As a senior medical assessor with the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, he has worked with health services to examine how standards are translated into everyday care.
Regulation in the United Kingdom
Earlier work as a medical adviser and inspector with the Care Quality Commission, together with curriculum advisory work connected with the General Medical Council, added an international perspective on standards and accountability.
Medical assessment
As a former RACGP National Lead Examiner, and a former AMC and PLAB examiner, George has also worked where professional standards must be translated into fair, defensible assessment decisions.
A consistent thread
Standards should be clear, fair and useful.
Across regulation, healthcare leadership and teaching, George has returned to the same belief: standards matter most when people can understand them and use them to make better decisions. That means being honest about uncertainty, clear about risk, thoughtful about context and willing to improve the system as well as the individual. It is also the perspective he brings to medical education.
