Dr Manmit Madan (Doctor)
Dr Manmit Madan came to Australia in February 1997. After running a successful surgery in Warren a town in the Orana Region of New South Wales, with a Visiting Medical Officer attachment to the Warren Hospital for five years, Dr Madan moved to Sydney as his children were studying there. He currently practices in two locations, Quakers Hill and Westmead. It is very hard for him to pick one aspect that he loves about Australia. “I love everything,” he remarks.
Dr Madan began his professional career in Australia as a neonatology registrar in Canberra Hospital. “Working in Australia feels great. It is a great country that welcomes immigrants and gives them equal opportunity,” he says. For him the single most important moment in his career was when he was offered his first job at the Canberra Hospital.
Dr Madan is proud of what he has achieved and looks back at his growth as a doctor and a contributing member of this multicultural country with great satisfaction. He tells all budding entrepreneurs that Australia is a free and welcoming country where talent and diligence is appreciated and recognised. His mantra has always been ‘ethical service’. When he is not practicing medicine, Dr Madan enjoys tennis, movies and sport. He strongly recommends The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, and says it is an excellent read.
The way I see it
Words to live by… “Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision” — Sir Winston Churchill
Growth? Coming from India with nothing and setting up shop and family in a new country and settling down to make it your home. That is growth.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
