AMA Victoria members have a unique opportunity to actively shape public health policy, influence doctors’ work conditions and improve the quality of patient care. This work is undertaken through our subdivisions, interest groups, government advisory groups, consultations, media and events.
Victorian healthcare is under immense pressure. With constrained budgets and overstretched resources, every dollar and moment must be spent where it matters most — delivering patient care.
The ‘Getting Rid of Stupid Stuff’ (GROSS) initiative is designed to empower health professionals to help health services identify and eliminate inefficiencies, boost worker morale and productivity and redirect resources to frontline care.
In a petition, AMA Victoria is calling on the Victorian Government — Premier Jacinta Allan, Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, Minister Mary-Anne Thomas and Treasurer Jaclyn Symes — to take action to implement the ‘Getting Rid of Stupid Stuff’ (GROSS) initiative across all Victorian health services.
AMA Victoria members can get involved with the issues that matter to them via councils, subdivisions and special interest groups.
The AMA Victoria Council develops policy for consideration by the AMA Victoria Board. It is an important forum for doctors to discuss and debate issues affecting the community, patients and the profession.
Council membership is necessary for election to the AMA Victoria Board, which occurs at the Council’s May meeting each year, a week before the Annual General Meeting.
The Council includes representatives of other groups of AMA Victoria members, including subdivisions, AMA Fellows, affiliated organisations and independent members.
