Summer 2007

Are you graduating in 2007?

Attention all student members graduating in 2007! It is important you understand your Student Membership does NOT automatically roll over to Intern Membership. In order to have medical indemnity cover during your intern year you will need to complete an intern application form.

MDA National Insurance Pty Ltd provides medical indemnity cover under the Professional Indemnity Insurance Policy - an 18 month policy which costs $20.00 including taxes and provides:

  • up to $500,000 cover for investigations and inquiries;
  • up to $20,000,000 cover for civil claims arising from private work outside of the hospital indemnity
  • cover for allegations (of which you are cleared) of sexual misconduct and criminal activity which arise from you providing medical services;
  • access to the medico-legal advice line, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week;
  • premium reductions if you take a break for 3 months or more in any policy year;
  • cover for overseas work (subject to underwriting approval); and
  • access to a range of risk management resources, including First Defence, our magazine designed specifically for junior doctors.

If you join MDA National as an Intern Member you will also receive a complimentary copy of the AMH Drug Choice Companion (Emergency and Primary Care) valued at $50 plus you will be eligible to enter the Take A Break On Us Competition with $1,000 Flight Centre Vouchers up for grabs (one each for Qld, NSW/ACT, SA/NT, WA and VIC/TAS).
