Board Staff

In 2006 the Medical Sciences Council joined forces with the Medical Radiation Technologists Board and formed a not-for-profit company - the Medical Sciences Secretariat. The Secretariat provides all business support services to these two responsible authorities.

A key part of establishing the Secretariat was a commitment to building synergies between the two authorities in respect of their governance and operation activities.  Managing the operations of the authorities within the most cost-effective framework was a primary consideration when looking to establish the organisational structure.  This has helped both the Medical Sciences Council and the Medical Radiation Technologists Board to maintain relatively low fee structures.

The Secretariat receives governance support and direction from a six-member Board of Directors - three from the Medical Sciences Council and three from the Medical Radiation Technologists Board - who are nominated and given specific delegated authorities by their respective Board/Council.  Service delivery is managed through a Chief Executive and a Registrar.
