Ever wanted to be part of AMSA advocacy but didn’t know where to start? 👀

Think Tank is your answer. One night. Two hours. A real taste of what policy looks like. No experience needed, no long-term commitment required.

We’re reviewing 4 policies on some of the most pressing issues facing medical students right now:
🩺 Clinical Placements & Remunerated Medical Student Positions
🌾 Regional, Rural & Remote Health
⚕️ Medical Students with Disabilities
🌏 War & Armed Conflict

With Senator Pocock and Dr Helen Haines actively pushing to expand the Commonwealth Prac Payment to medical students, paid clinical placements are at a pivotal moment. This is your chance to be part of shaping AMSA’s position on it.

Our Story

In 1960 a small group of medical students in Brisbane created what would become one of the largest student organisations in the world. Today the Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) has grown into a massive not-for-profit and the peak representative body for Australia’s 17, 000 medical students.

AMSA exists for you, so that you may find your voice, grow and be inspired. Standing on generations of friendship and Hawaii 5-0s, we exist to bring people together. And as the health community of today and tomorrow, we exist to advocate for a better world on a local, national and global level.

To keep up to date with what AMSA is doing for you, like this page, head on over to our website www.amsa.org.au or chat to your local AMSA Representative.
