Who We Really Are
These are the guide rails of how we operate as a company. Remind yourself of them daily, till they’re burned into your mind, for every company decision is made from these.
MAKE BETTER DOCTORS
We don’t just help anyone, and we don’t just ‘get them in.’ We are for people who take self-responsibility, have a growth mindset, are compassionate, think, are persistent, and want to make a positive difference. We equip them with the gamsat and personal skills to be better doctors (and people) than what we have now. That way they will improve their own lives, and care for their patients, family, and the community better. They grow into a version of themselves they can be proud of. This makes the world a better place.
TOGETHER WE STAND
Above all else, we are loyal. Our loyalty to our students gives us purpose, and our loyalty to our teammates drives us to fight together for our mission. We are committed to our core values, which shape our success. United by a shared vision and purpose, we push and respect each other, working collectively towards our goals. We believe in our mission and align with Thank Flip’s principles, living by these values both inside and outside of our classes to build a better future together.
Â
GOOD VIBES
We strive to foster positive and enjoyable relationships, both internally and externally, knowing that the success of our mission is built upon this. Our enthusiasm and passion for what we do are contagious and inspire others. We understand that quality relationships and a positive attitude create strong bonds, friendships, and lifetime customers.
Â
GROWTH MINDSET
We are always learning and striving to better the company and ourselves. We believe in self-directed learning to improve ourselves personally and enhance our performance. We know that learning is crucial for personal growth, directly impacting both our own performance and the company’s overall success. We embrace new opportunities and positive challenges, working to get better every day and constantly push ourselves for personal progress.
Â
GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH INITIATIVE
We are committed to going the extra mile for our students, co-workers, and the company. We consistently strive to over-deliver and exceed expectations in everything we do, approaching tasks with enthusiasm and a drive to WOW with outstanding customer service. We take initiative, acting proactively and self-driven, never waiting to be told what to do. We identify what needs to be done and do it, constantly pushing ourselves forward and contributing without needing to be prompted. Our daily actions reflect our commitment to improving the company and benefiting everyone involved.
DISCIPLINED ACCOUNTABILITY
We are self-motivated to stay on-task and driven to achieve the company’s goals, from the big picture to the details of every task. We hold ourselves to high standards, consistently delivering above expectations. We also take full responsibility for our actions and performance, owning issues and tasks to their completion without shifting blame. Our commitment to discipline and accountability ensures our success and the success of our team.

1,000 BETTER DOCTORS BY 2029
Dr Tomasz Forfa
Founder & CEO
Writer of many, many, many emails.
The Professional Third Person Bio:
Dr Tom got his MBBS from the University of Notre Dame, Sydney after sitting the GAMSAT 3 times. He has since helped over 50,000 people with his GAMSAT preparation materials (via PassGAMSAT before it became Thank Flip) over the last 13 years. As a doctor, he has worked in St George and Sutherland hospitals and started a foundation called, The Humanitarian Doctors Foundation.
The Real Me:
Now that the ‘professional’ version is out of the way, let’s be real. I’m a dad to a little girl, husband to an amazing woman, I swim in the ocean every day, wear Hawaiian shirts, fly planes and am kind of obsessed with indoor plants. My office is a jungle.

The Real Me:
I am obsessed with NDE’s (if you know, you know) and have read every personal development book that’s ever been written. My superpowers are talking and reading. I’ll talk your ear off if you give me the chance. On the weekends, you’ll find me at the beach with my daughter and…you guessed it…reading.
We are creating the future of healthcare. That’s a pretty big task. We are doing this by
ceating F*cking great doctors. Period.
Vision
What is a f*cking great doctor you ask? Well it’s not just a smart one, but it’s a doctor that actually cares about people.
It’s a doctor who has a compelling reason why they are in medicine. It’s a doctor who has a strong foundation in personal development so that they continue to be happy and healthy in their profession throughout their lifetime.
It’s a doctor who cares about, and supports other people in their profession – The other doctors, the nurses, the admin, the allied health staff, everyone equally.
And, above all else, it’s a doctor that we would be happy to send our family and children to if they were sick, knowing in our hearts that they are getting the best possible care and treatment possible.
That my friend, is our vision. To create f*cking great doctors.
Values
This is the bit where we tell you how we are. Not WHO we are, but the actual core of our value system. How we work, and what we expect from our students and staff:
We are trustworthy
We are a douchebag free zone here (kindness please)
We work with people who have aligned goals with us
We are more than capable of doing our job
We are reliable and have integrity. Our word means something
We communicate openly and honestly
We have a growth mindset – we can always figure sh*t out
We are independent, and we know how to work as a team
Goals
Our Big Hairy Audacious Goal:
By December 2025, we have at least 1 Thank Flip Doctor in every single hospital across Australia.
