About
Title: Medical Dominance and the Law: European Medical Exiles in Tasmania, 1933–1951Our presenter, Dr Gabrielle Wolf, is a Professor in the Faculty of Law at Monash University.
Abstract: Doctors who escaped Nazi-occupied Europe and immigrated to Australia were greeted mostly with hostility by representatives of the local medical profession. Australian doctors agitated for amendment of legislation that governed registration of medical practitioners in each state, to remove any legal entitlement of the European medical exiles to practise medicine. Tasmania’s Parliament was the first Australian legislature to accede to these medical practitioners’ pressure, before World War Two began.
