Australian Medical Association SA

We take pride in promoting and protecting the professional interests of doctors and the healthcare needs of all Australians.

The Australian Medical Association (South Australia) is the most influential voice on health matters for doctors, trainee doctors, and the community in South Australia. The AMA (SA) brings doctors together to work towards better health outcomes for the community and promotes ethics, standards, and wellbeing in the medical profession.

The AMA (SA) advocates for its members in reviewing new policy, legislation, regulations, and guidelines. It monitors performance in the state’s health system and challenges governments where necessary to improve outcomes for patients, doctors, and trainees. It also leads the health policy debate with informed, expert medical commentary on health issues.

The AMA (SA) promotes ethical standards and safeguards the academic, professional, and economic independence of doctors and, particularly, the doctor/patient relationship.

The AMA Code of Ethics provides fundamental principles to guide doctors in their professional conduct.
