Having a trusted partner while you practise with care: Dr Maria Boulton & Dr Hashim Abdeen
MDA National is the insurer and trusted partner for thousands of medical practitioners like Dr Maria Boulton and Dr Hashim Abdeen, MDA National Members since 2003 and 2012 respectively. Our services are an essential layer of support that allows doctors to focus on caring for patients throughout their careers. When Dr Boulton established her practice in Brisbane, she turned to MDA National to help develop, review, and strengthen what she now calls a “gold standard policy”, ensuring patients receive medical care in a timely and safe manner.
For Dr Boulton, that responsiveness in providing advice when it is needed most is what sets MDA National apart. Members who own practices are supported by comprehensive practice indemnity insurance that protects both the business entity and its team. This cover extends beyond individual doctors and help practices maintain high standards of care while protecting their reputation and financial security.

"As a business owner, you have your internal team, and your trusted external team, without which you can’t survive. You trust that they're good at what they do because that way you can focus on what you're doing, which is providing care for patients”, says Dr Boulton.
Dr Abdeen’s connection to MDA National and our education programs such as open disclosure and health literacy has highlighted our values that reflect throughout his career. He sees that support extends well beyond claims, with proactive initiatives that build networks and help prevent issues before they arise. “I've been lucky enough to be involved with several of the education programs and facilitated a couple. The proactive approach, rather than just reactive support when complaints come through, is something that is really aligned with my values”.
For 100 years, MDA National has stood beside doctors with services that go beyond insurance, providing practical guidance, timely advice, and proactive support at every stage of their journey, and will continue to do so for many years to come.
