Welcome to the Queensland Branch of the AMA
The Queensland Branch of the Australian Medical Association represents and supports doctors across the state with a strong, united national voice.
Our well-resourced national office represents you on many federal government issues including Medicare; medicine regulation; private health sector policy; aged care, and the regulation of health practitioners.
The federal AMA is widely acknowledged as Australia’s most influential medico-political association and has won major advocacy-related awards. Our access to politicians and key decision makers in Canberra is unparalleled.
Queensland doctors can join the federal AMA’s Queensland Branch directly to stay connected to national advocacy, workplace support, and the full suite of federal AMA member benefits.
Membership ensures your voice continues to be heard as we fight to shape the national health agenda. As a member of the federal AMA, you will remain part of a strong, influential community of doctors across the country, working to strengthen the profession and improve healthcare across Australia.
What we do for members
In 2025 alone we met with decision and policy makers more than 440 times. Our advocacy results in changes on national health policy decisions at the highest levels.
The federal AMA’s Queensland Branch delivers value to members through national advocacy and representation on:
- Medicare reform through our national Modernise Medicare campaign
