Chair & President
JJ Ackerman

Treasurer
Anthony Kyte
Anthony is the founder and past-President of AAIM, based in Brisbane. Years prior to his initial exposure to IONM, Anthony had an interest in health science and applied to a medical lab course that split into anaesthetic techniques. Since then he worked as an anaesthetic technician for seven years, followed by just over a decade in autotransfusion, and now twelve years in IONM. Anthony’s interest in IONM was derived from being sat next to a neurophysiology scientist in operating theatres during his autotransfusion years. According to Anthony, the biggest challenge for INSA “…is to create a balanced accreditation that gives scientists the confidence and authority to perform IONM, and have recognition under the system’. Outside of the OR, Anthony is a Venturer Scout Leader, and is a proud dance-Dad with his youngest child being actively involved in the performing arts. Anthony also loves a cruise.
