MDA National renewal 2026

This renewal, you might notice some changes to MDA’s processes. As a part of our commitment to deliver the best Member experience we have been updating our digital ecosystem. While our systems and processes are continually improving, there may be some minor issues during the transition.

Discounts

If you receive a discount, for example through an alliance or corporate agreement, or if you are in your first four years of private practice, we have applied your discount automatically.

For Members in their first four years of private practice, this discount is additionally combined with your highest other discount.

Other MDA discounts cannot be combined, and you will receive the highest discount that you are entitled to only.

Instalment payments

As part of updates to our payment options, instalment payments will no longer be available for Junior Doctors and Doctors in Specialist Training. When your policy renews on 1 July, payment will be due for the total premium.

If you’d like to discuss additional payment support or have any questions, please contact our Member Services Team on 1800 011 255 or email peaceofmind@mdanational.com.au.

New BPAY Biller Code

As a result of upgrades to our BPAY payment pathway, our biller code has changed.

What do I need to do?

• If you are using BPAY to make your payment, please ensure you are using the updated biller code
• Please do not use any saved BPAY details from previous payments
• If you are not using BPAY, there is no change to how you make a payment

Where can I find the new BPAY biller code?

Your payment options, including our updated BPAY biller details, will be included in your renewal notice, and our new BPAY biller code will appear in a section that looks like this:

What if I used the old payment details?

• Your payment will still come to MDA National, but it may take us longer to allocate your payment as it will need to be manually reconciled
• This may delay the issue of your Certificate of Currency, Certificate of Insurance or Tax Receipt documents

Please ensure that you update any saved BPAY biller code details before making payment.

Digital-only communication

As a part of our commitment to reduce environmental impact through sustainable practices, we’re asking Members if they wish to update their renewal communication preference to be digital-only.

If you currently have your renewal communications preference set to both digital and physical, you should have received an email and SMS from us with the option to easily update your preference.

Why go digital?

• Faster delivery of your documents via email with secure links
• Support for sustainable practices through reduced paper usage, printing and transportation
• Improved document convenience – access them anytime, anywhere, across devices
