Founded in 1959, GESA has grown from a small group of practising Gastroenterologists to a large organisation with over 1,000 members.
GESA membership includes all professionals dedicated to gastroenterological health and patient care. Mentoring, the sharing of knowledge and dedication to professional growth and development are among the core values of GESA and its members.
The membership includes Fellows and Members of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons interested in the study of gastroenterology. It also extends to medical graduates and trainees, pathologists, radiologists, scientists, allied health professionals, dietitians, and others interested in the science, study or practice of gastroenterology.
