Championing the needs of your patients and the system is key. Generations of doctors have found that coming together – with the profession as a whole – is the most effective way to make a difference and drive change.

Support and Representation
The Australian Medical Association (WA) negotiates employment terms and conditions on behalf of public hospital doctors in the State. The Association also provides individual advocacy and representation as well as broader health system advocacy, all of which has resulted in better working and professional conditions for doctors and improved outcomes for their patients.
We protect the professional and industrial interests of more than 5,000 doctors who work in WA’s public health system.
The AMA (WA) meets monthly with the State Health Minister and the Director General of WA Health to advocate on behalf of members in relation to individual, departmental and system-wide issues.
