Dr Mary McGinty

MB BS(NSW)
ACCAM(Monash)

Having received a good grounding working as a doctor in medicine, surgery, and accident and emergency, Mary found her niche working in occupational medicine where she has been professionally happy and satisfied for over 20 years. In the past, Mary also worked for eight years managing the Newcastle office of a national OHS provider. For many years she oversaw the medicals done by other doctors. She is a Designated Diving Medical Examiner with the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society and is also a Designated Aviation Medicine Examiner (DAME) with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). She is well versed with rail and driving medicals and is also an examiner of seafarers for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). She is an assessor of Permanent Impairment under Comcare and is a trained mediator. If ever lost, she can be conveniently located in a bookstore, buying both fiction and non-fiction to feed her voracious reading appetite.
