The Australian Salaried Medical Officers' Federation Northern Territory (ASMOF NT) represents the salaried and non-government medical workforce in the Territory. ASMOF NT's objectives are to:

• Promote the broad interests of salaried doctors
• Provide services to its members, including representation before industrial tribunals and in negotiations with employers
• Advocate the provision and development of quality health services

ASMOF is a federation comprised of branches in all Australian States and Territories. Membership includes all levels of medical practitioners - interns, residents, registrars, hospital specialists, consultants, medical academics, medical administrators and salaried doctors generally.

The Australian Council of Trade Unions recognises ASMOF as the principal union for salaried medical practitioners, ASMOF having affiliated with the ACTU in 1991.

• Provide you with simplified advice regarding your employment rights and entitlements;
• Assist with interpretation of contractual obligations, employer directive and legislation applicable to your employment;
• Assist with resolution of payroll issues, including underpayments and overpayments;
• Approach your employer to resolve issues relating to your employment on an individual or collective level (including rostering practices);
• Work with you on resolving workplace conflicts and grievances and provide representation as a support person to meetings, as required;
• Assist you with navigating performance-related matters;
• Advocate for doctors' work health and safety with your employer to improve workplace employment practices; and 
• Negotiate your industrial agreement (salary, allowances and conditions), within both the NT Public Service and non-government organisations. 

For those AMA NT members who are working as salaried medical officers, that is working as an employee, the AMA NT offers joint membership, at no extra charge, with ASMOF NT.

For members who are full-time employees, that's a saving of just over $700 per annum and don't forget it's tax deductible!
