About Dr Oliver Wightman

Dr Oliver Wightman was born and raised in Brisbane but was quickly drawn to rural medicine while completing his medical school training in regional and rural Queensland. He is currently a Registrar at Kingaroy Hospital, completing his AST in Obstetrics following initial training in Gympie.

Oliver holds a Graduate Diploma from the Australian Institute of Company Directors and is completing a Masters in Public Health and Tropical Medicine through James Cook University. He is also the founder of One For Health, a charity that facilitates philanthropy for early-career doctors supporting health equity projects across Australia.

Outside of medicine, Oliver is a passionate Brisbane Lions supporter and a keen runner.

As an early-career registrar, Oliver is excited to join the Committee with a strong focus on advocacy, to help the College better understand and improve the registrar experience across all stages of training - from application through to assessment and fellowship.
