Andrew Miller is an Australian anaesthetist who was the president of the

Australian Medical Association (WA)
.

He was educated at the University of Western Australia, Pennsylvania State University and Macquarie University. Along with his medical education, he has a legal degree, which has led him to be involved in the administration of not-for-profit organisations.[1][2]

Miller was first elected to be president of the AMA (WA) in June 2016, having been vice-president for the previous two years. He succeeded Michael Gannon.[3] The following year, he did not put himself up for re-election.[4][5] In July 2019, he was elected president of the AMA (WA) again,[5] and was re-elected the following year.[6]

As AMA (WA) president, Miller has praised the

Western Australian Government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic[7] and criticised the government for failing to learn from hotel quarantine breaches in other states, which has led to breaches in Western Australia.[8] He has also called for Health Minister Roger Cook to resign after a seven year old died after failing to receive medical help at Perth Children's Hospital's emergency department for two hours.[9][10]

Miller left the presidency of the AMA WA in June 2021, as the organisation's constitution says its president can only serve two consecutive years. He was succeeded by Mark Duncan-Smith.[11][12]
