Supporting doctors in the moments that matter

MDA National has provided me with amazing support and guidance with medico-legal expertise, from when I was a student and now as a doctor.

They go above and beyond to assist medical professionals with their concerns.

The support given is something you don’t get from other Medical Defence Organisations. 

I chose MDA National to be my indemnity provider because I trust that I will be looked after both as a doctor and a person.

MDA National staff have always impressed me with their professionalism, knowledge and commitment to supporting the medical profession.

I feel confident that if I was ever in the unfortunate position of needing assistance, it would be provided quickly, compassionately and expertly.

I have been an MDA National member since I was a medical student.

I didn't think I would need their help, but over the years from junior doctor to consultant I have been able to access expert advice and support for a range of issues.

MDA National has also been a strong advocate and supporter of doctors' health and well being. 

MDA National is an organisation that is not only efficient and productive, but one that has my total trust.

They have been an invaluable, continuous support throughout my medical career.

Their commitment to promote education is of a high standard. On a personal level, they have provided wonderful support in my own endeavours to improve junior doctor wellbeing and mentoring.

I've been with MDA National Insurance since 2001, and have always found them to do a very good job for Members.

They offer extremely strong educational services and sound risk management advice.

MDA National are local and approachable and they offer excellent advice on relatively minor things. No question is too trivial if it is causing concern.

Twice in my internship year I contacted MDA National- once for advice on responding to a request from the police for an expert certificate, and once regarding a request from my hospital to participate in a root cause analysis.

On both occasions I was extremely impressed by the speed, quality and thoroughness of the advisers’ responses.

I will definitely be renewing my membership next year, as I’m confident I can rely on MDA National. 

I joined MDA National (then MDAWA) the day after I graduated from UWA over 50 years ago.

I only required assistance from them on a couple of occasions, but it has been an enormous comfort knowing the medico-legal support was always available.

Having served on their council for many years, I’ve seen the excellent professional support they provide to members.
