Dr Allen Xiao is a medical intern and AMAV ambassador at Northeast Health Wangaratta. For Allen and fellow doctors across Victoria, getting the EBA right means a better future.

“I don't think any of us signs up to be overworked, underpaid and neglected by hospital administration, while trying to complete - or get onto - a high-stress, high-intensity specialty training program. The status quo is not sustainable,” he says.

AMA Victoria acknowledges the service of Mary-Anne Thomas MP following her decision to step down as Minister for Health.

She has held the portfolio for close to four years, taking it on as Victoria emerged from the pandemic and carrying it through a complex period of system recovery, with sustained pressure across the health system.

Throughout that time, there was direct and constructive engagement with the medical profession on workforce conditions, clinical governance and system reform.

This included engagement on medical workforce issues, including workplace safety, and ongoing discussion of fatigue and working conditions, alongside efforts to reduce unnecessary administrative burden on clinicians.

Early progress on the Health Services Plan and the development of Local Health Service Networks has set a direction for improving coordination across the system.

Her commitment to strengthening women’s health services and supporting general practice, including the introduction of the general practice registrar incentive payment, will form an important part of her legacy.

AMA Victoria thanks the Minister for her service and will continue to work constructively with the Government and the incoming Minister, including through the current enterprise bargaining process and broader system reform, to support a safe and sustainable health system.

• Have you had maternity leave denied during this time?

• Has your employment or training been impacted by a period of maternity leave?

If you are a public hospital doctor and AMA Victoria member who answered yes to any of the above questions, or if you are due to have a baby in the coming months, we would like to hear from you.
