Our Story
MAHN was created out of a recognised need for professional development for those working in metabolic bariatric surgery and obesity management.
In 2019, Kathy Benn, then a board member of ANZMOSS, identified this need, then created and led teams of respected experts to deliver key initiatives, including:
The ANZMOSS Integrated Health Roadshow in Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne (2021)
The two-day ANZMOSS IH Professional Development Course in Melbourne (2023), now known as the Obesity Care Masterclass.
Bariatric Surgery Nutritional Education in Sydney (2023), with Shine Dietetics
Building on this strong foundation, MAHN launched in 2024 to advance holistic, multidisciplinary care and professional collaboration.
