About AMA (NSW)
The Australian Medical Association (NSW) Limited is an independent association representing the state's medical profession. As the state's peak medical-political lobbying body, we are dedicated to providing members and the medical profession more broadly with representation and advocacy on medical issues, professional services and commercial benefits. The Association has membership from across the breadth of the medical profession and from across the State, and plays a pivotal role in the formation of medical policy.

Committee & Stakeholder Engagement
You'll have ownership for convening and managing all follow up actions from the Doctors in Training Committee, and be available to attend other ad hoc working groups and committees that take place outside of office hours. You'll assist with virtual and in-person events, and may be required to undertake some intrastate and interstate travel as part of the role.
