The Newmans
For this family of doctors, medicine is more than a career - it's a generational passion. Their connection to the medical profession is embedded in family history, hard work, and a shared commitment to good medical practice.
Whether it’s seeking advice while delivering quality healthcare, or guiding us to provide the best possible support, we are proud to stand beside thousands of doctors across Australia for over 100 years.
We honour the stories of our Members that define their journeys in medicine: stories of dedication, resilience, collaboration, and the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next. These Member spotlight series celebrate the extraordinary contributions of our Members and the lasting impact they make in their communities.

Dr Emmeline Lee and Dr Harman Dev highlight the significance of mentorship and professional support across generations. Their shared values shine through their story of guidance, reassurance, and empowerment in the profession.
Dr Brad Gilpin grew up watching his father - Dr David Gilpin, an orthopaedic surgeon - practice medicine with dedication and compassion. In a story of intergenerational surgical excellence and mentorship, the Gilpin Family shows how patient‑centred care can be a shared family ethos.
Sharing a passion for orthopaedic surgery, inspired by an interest in elite sports, Dr Dror Maor and Final Year Student Shev Dias highlight the power of mentorship, the importance of mindset, and the shared belief that great medicine is built on care and discipline.
Dr Jay Baumwol credits much of his professional approach to medicine to the example set by his father. A/Prof Max Baumwol hopes Jay and future generations of doctors find the rewards of a life in medicine, from the gratitude of patients to the satisfaction of making a difference.
Both advocates for the medical profession with a deep connection to MDA National, Dr Maria Boulton and Dr Hashim Abdeen reflect on the lessons they’ve learnt as doctors and the mutual support that has shaped their careers.
