Fellows
The Order of A.S.M.F. Fellows’ was established in 1984. The Fellows’ are the elite group within Sports Medicine Australia.
The broad objectives of the Fellows’ are:
- promote excellence in the field of sports medicine

- recognise the contribution of members to SMA.
Some of the notable contributions in recent years includes:

- supporting the Refshauge Lecturer at the Australian Conference of Science and Medicine in Sport (ACSMS)
- mentoring young poster presenters at the ACSMS
- supporting the ACSMS Awards
- contributed financially to the Physical Activity supplement of the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport.
ASMF Fellows’ have contributed by being a full member for seven years, attending Australian and international conferences, having research published in national or international publications, higher tertiary qualifications, assisting in the administration of some SMA projects and lecturing at workshops.
