About Tim:Tim Leeuwenburg is a Rural Generalist on Kangaroo Island, South Australia – he started off as an ED/ICU trainee in Adelaide before realising the heady mix of medicine that an RG encompasses. For the past twenty years he’s been in probate practice on Kangaroo Island, providing primary care, emergency medicine and anesthetic services through clinic and hospital, as well as prehospital care of SA’s Rural Emergency Responder Network (RERN)
Now semi-retired, he and partner Trish spend time rehabilitating orphaned wildlife and sea kayaking; Tim still collects pocket money working as a retrieval consultant for the Central Australian Retrieval Service and doing the odd anesthetic locum. More importantly he now has time to help out as Chair of Sandpiper Australia in the hope that we can overcome the ’tyranny of distance’ by establishing rural responder networks across the various States & Territories in Australia.
