We are so proud to announce that
Dr Sibanda is the well deserved recipient of this prestigious RACGP award for 2025!

Dr Sibanda’s diverse expertise comes from a career of over 35 years in various fields of medicine.

He not only works tirelessly in general practice but also supports rural hospitals and rural emergency doctors via virtual services 4-5 sessions per month.

Dr Sibanda’s career started in Zimbabwe. He works an extra session each fortnight with revenue donated to support children and orphans in Zimbabwe through the Aid For Africa Down Under organisation.

Dr Sibanda was very humbled and thanked the RACGP for the great honour in receiving the award. He also said that it is a privilege to care for people at their most vulnerable and thanked all patients who entrust our State’s general practitioners to care for them.

The Hindmarsh Bowden Health and Fitzroy Medical Clinic teams are so proud of Godfrey and his achievements.

Congratulations Dr Sibanda!

Our very own Dr Bryan Buttery is wearing some new bling today after a very successful weekend at the Dragonboat SA State Championships.

We’ll soon also be cheering for Dr Buttery who has been named the South Australian flag bearer at the upcoming AusChamps at the end of the month in Sydney.

Congratulations to Bryan Buttery (Black Sea Dragons) who has been appointed as the SA Flag Bearer for the 2025 AusChamps.

Bryan starting paddling in 1994 and has been passionately involved in dragon boating for over 30 years.

He has been captain, coach and co-coach for his clubs over the years. He is highly regarded and a valuable member of Black Sea Dragons Dragon Boat Club, his current club and by other DBSA clubs and members.

He has represented his Club and State at the national championships on numerous occasions and has been captain and coach at different times.

He has represented Australia as an Aurora on the world stage 10 times and will be paddling his 11th Aurora campaign in Germany in July this year.

But he mostly prefers to stay in the background and encourage and develop new paddlers or take existing ones to the next stage of their development.
