Manage indemnity insurance

Medical indemnity legislation strengthens the availability of medical services in Australia.

The Medical Indemnity Act 2002 and Midwife Professional Indemnity (Commonwealth Contribution) Scheme Act 2010 provide financial assistance. This is to help keep medical indemnity insurance premiums affordable for medical practitioners and midwives.

Medical Defence Organisations (MDOs) and Medical Indemnity Insurers (MIIs) can make claims under the medical and midwife indemnity schemes we administer.

MDOs and MIIs must be incorporated in Australia to participate.
