Australian Medical Association (AMA)

Description

The Australian Medical Association represents the registered medical practitioners (doctors) and medical students of Australia.
We work with the membership to promote and protect the interests of patients.
We do this through a broad range of mechanisms at a state and national level including:
working with governments to maintain and increase provision of world-class medical care to all Australians;
tracking and reporting government performance on health;
challenging government on policy that potentially harms the interests of patients;
providing a resonant and authoritative expert medical commentary on health issues;
responding to issues in the health debate through provision of a wide range of expert resources; and
commissioning and conducting research on health issues.
The AMA supports patient care by serving the medical profession across a broad range of essential services including:
protecting the academic, professional and economic independence and the well being of medical practitioners;
promoting and advancing ethical behaviour by the medical profession and protecting the integrity and independence of the doctor/patient relationship; and
preserving and protecting the political, legal and industrial interests of medical practitioners.
