My Master of Bioethics will help me develop rigorous skills in ethics and policy to drive difficult decision-making for future public health challenges like pandemics, chronic disease and healthcare inequity. Combining philosophical training with my background in medicine and public health, I will contribute to developing ethical frameworks that consider the moral consequences of Australian healthcare policy.

Dr. David Motorniak is a resident doctor in Melbourne, passionate about ethics in public health policy. A graduate of Monash University with a Doctor of Medicine and an Honours year in bioethics, he also holds a Master of Public Health & Tropical Medicine.
