• cover for clinical placements, electives and scholarship placements worldwide (excluding the USA or its territories)
• access to independent legal representatives who will act on your behalf
• cover for professional negligence claims arising from Good Samaritan acts

• legal costs incurred in connection with investigations, including inquiries, disciplinary or administrative proceedings by a Medical Board/Council, Tribunal, Royal Commission, Coronial Court, Professional Registration Board or the University that you attend
• allegations of sexual misconduct or criminal conduct in respect to healthcare services provided by you to a patient
• Communicable Disease Cover.*

Support from day one

More than medical indemnity, we are here to support you from day one and provide student Members a range of useful resources, these include:

• 24/7 Medico-legal Advisory Service – you're learning and it's common to feel out of depth or worry about making errors during your clinical placement or elective. Talking through a situation early on can ensure it does not escalate.
• FREE subscription to the Electives Network – the ultimate resource to help you plan your elective, both in Australia and worldwide.
• Student specific events that provide face-to-face support, networking opportunities and medico-legal information. We work closely with AMSA and your MedSoc.
• Live Well, Study Well activities – to help you foster work/life balance and navigate key milestones during your studies.

We're in your world…

• Over 74% of Australian medical students are MDA National Members.

We are a "doctors for doctors" mutual with a wealth of expertise & heritage of financial stability.
