Dr Warren Kealy-Bateman

Dr Warren Kealy-Bateman was born in Melbourne. His family own a farm in Western Victoria where his mother grew up. He has maintained an interest in rural life and has worked in Western NSW for over a decade. He is the Clinical Director of Dubbo and Regions.

Dr Kealy-Bateman has received education from the University of Sydney, the Institute of Psychiatry of NSW, the University of Melbourne, New York University and Harvard University. In 2006 he attained Fellowship of the RANZCP. In 2018 he completed studies in public health. Over the next two years, he undertook the Executive Master of Business Administration (MBA) at Melbourne Business School, The University of Melbourne. In 2022 he attained further medical teaching skills from Harvard University. Dr Kealy-Bateman is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Dr Kealy-Bateman has special interests in the care of groups who experience health disparities. This includes the Aboriginal people of NSW, some of whom comprise almost half of the patients under his current care. He is also a very proud advocate for the LGBTIQ+ community with considerable previous work at the time of the marriage equality debate in Australia as well as ongoing contribution to the academic literature.

As an active person in the RANZCP Dr Kealy-Bateman has been involved as a member or chair of multiple regional or binational groups. Highlights have included: Committee for Examinations Chief Examinations Coordinator (2008); Chair of the NSW Branch Training Committee (2009-2014); Chair of the Committee for Training (2014-2020); and many other involvements, focused in the area of education and training.

In 2022 Dr Kealy-Bateman was appointed as a member of the NSW Regional Health Ministerial Advisory Panel, following the NSW Parliamentary inquiry into rural health care.

Dr Kealy-Bateman views leadership, good governance and sound policy development that is achieved in partnership, as important foundations for an organisation. Strategy and understanding the emerging threats is also key. The great challenge he says is communicating the journey in a broad member organisation of a medium size corporation such as the RANZCP. “Our members are highly trained, extremely busy professionals. How do we continually work for the membership to deliver the optimal messaging in both directions, to achieve our shared goals?”
