Proxy Members: Barry Jenkins is currently the proxy member for Jenifer Benzie, and Naomi Lillywhite is the proxy member for Robert Steine.

Members of WATAG are appointed on the basis of expertise and interest in the quality use of medicines rather than representation. However, drawing members from a range of stakeholder groups including medicine, pharmacy, nursing and management, as well as public and private health, and metropolitan and regional institutions provides a representative balance for the committee.
