COVID-19 – Updates & Information

The Australian Medical Association (WA) has always put the health of our community first. Our stand on COVID-19 has been no different.

We have been relentless in our advocacy around COVID-19 since early 2020. We have been calling for proper PPE and stricter quarantine measures to protect our healthcare workers, hotel quarantine workers and the wider community for many months.

The AMA (WA), led by President Dr Mark Duncan-Smith, will continue to engage with the WA State Government to improve the standard of our pandemic response.
