Biography

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) is the peak membership organisation representing the registered medical practitioners (doctors) and medical students of Australia.

The AMA promotes and protects the professional interests of doctors and the health care needs of patients and communities.

Advocacy

The AMA advocates on behalf of its members and the community at the Federal and State and Territory levels by:

working with governments to maintain and increase provision of world class medical care to all Australians;
tracking and reporting government performance on health policy, financing, services and programs;
challenging governments on policy that potentially harms the interests of patients;
providing informed and authoritative expert medical commentary on health issues in the media, political debate, and public forums;
leading the health policy debate by developing and promoting alternative policies to those government policies that the AMA considers poorly targeted or ill-informed; responding to issues in the health debate through the provision of a wide range of expert resources; and commissioning and conducting research on health issues.

Biography

AHPRA’s operations are governed by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, as in force in each state and territory (the National Law), which came into effect on 1 July 2010. This law means that for the first time in Australia, 14 health professions are regulated by nationally consistent legislation under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.

AHPRA supports the 14 National Boards that are responsible for regulating the health professions. The primary role of the National Boards is to protect the public and they set standards and policies that all registered health practitioners must meet. Each National Board has entered into a health profession agreement with AHPRA which sets out the fees payable by health practitioners, the annual budget of the National Board and the services provided by AHPRA.
