Doctors in Training

AMA Victoria has been instrumental in securing improvements in terms and conditions of employment for Victoria’s doctors-in-training. Moreover, we play an important role in providing workplace representation and support to doctors beginning their careers in Victoria.

Common issues we assist with include:

• On call and recall
• claiming overtime
• fatigue and rostering issues 
• Navigating bullying and harassment issues
• Policy or assessment issues that arise with your hospital
• Representing groups of doctors with a common issue 
• Claiming leave entitlements 
• Dispute resolution 
• Rotations between hospitals 
• Assistance with college issues 

There are many reasons why doctors join and stay members of AMA Victoria throughout their careers. As a doctor-in-training, those reasons will be primarily related to workplace relations. You must be a member of AMA Victoria for us to represent and support you in any individual workplace issue you may have. Moreover, we need the collective strength that a large membership provides to be able to negotiate improved workplace terms and conditions for all doctors in training in Victoria, and each additional member counts. 
 

Representation

AMA Victoria’s doctors-in-training subdivision is a powerful group of influencers responsible for driving huge improvements to workplace conditions. Together, with AMA Victoria’s Workplace Relations team and the Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation (ASMOF), doctors-in-training are a force for change. During 2017-18, the AMA Victoria doctors-in-training subdivision was pivotal in its efforts to introduce improvements to the AMA Enterprise Agreement (EBA). Consultations and negotiations for the next EBA will commence across 2020-2021.
