At AMA Victoria, we recognise that the journey of general practitioners is filled with continuous learning and evolving challenges.
We support your health and wellbeing as a general practitioner through tailored programs that assist you in navigating the pressures of your medical career. Our services are especially beneficial during key transitional phases and in establishing your professional identity. We focus on helping you set and achieve meaningful goals, contributing to both your personal and professional development.
Our mentoring program connects you with experienced doctors who provide guidance and insights into career progression and professional challenges in a supportive and safe environment. This program is an invaluable resource for gaining mentorship and advice.
The Peer Visitor Program offers a unique opportunity for young doctors to gain wisdom from the experiences of their senior counterparts, fostering a network of support and companionship.
For members facing challenging situations, our Doctor Support Service provides confidential and practical assistance from trained medical practitioners. This service is particularly useful for those dealing with legal and disciplinary matters, including Medicare and TAC audits, Coroner’s Court and Medical Board hearings, as well as lawsuits and industrial relations issues.
In addition to expert advice from our staff, the Doctor Support Service offers a compassionate volunteer to accompany you through stressful proceedings, providing a listening ear and support in whichever form suits you best, be it in-person, over the phone, or electronically.
AMA Victoria also equips you with resources focused on self-care, stress management, and boundary setting, crucial for every stage of your medical career.
By joining AMA Victoria, you gain access to a comprehensive suite of wellbeing resources that evolve with and enhance your professional journey. We are here to help you face the challenges and celebrate the successes throughout your career in medicine.
