Medical Defence Organisations in Australia

Four Australian medical defence organisations (MDOs) offer individual medical indemnity protection to their members, and these four organisations are jointly hosting the International MPLA conference. The MDOs operate on a not-for-profit basis as ‘mutuals’, with the insurance offered to their members underwritten by licenced insurers. The parent entities are Avant Mutual Group Limited (Avant), MDA National (MDAN), Medical Insurance Group Australia (MIGA) and Medical Indemnity Protection Society (MIPS).
