About AMPS
To give members a choice of representation, because every practitioner should be free to choose who represents them. Doctors can now join a truly independent association with their RUSH subscription, not one selected by the Government or your employer.
All hospital doctors, doctors in private practice, salaried doctors, and VMOs (Visiting Medical Officers). You are welcome to join whether you are an employee, practice owner or contractor.
You can join from anywhere in Australia! We provide cover Australia-wide. We endeavour to provide in-person support where practicable, however, if we are unable to provide that we will be able to assist you with your issues via video conference or phone call.
The AMPS Inc is an industrial association which is an incorporated association in Victoria. Read more about our new structure here. AMPS is run by medical professionals, and none of your fees are donated to politicians or their parties. There is also a company limited by guarantee.
Services
AMPS and RUSH support members with a range of workplace issues, including Enterprise Bargaining, pay disputes, internal disputes, bullying and more, backed by a network of law firms that includes an affiliated firm on retainer, NPAA LAW PTY LTD. Where a matter needs a lawyer, RUSH may pay for one in line with its terms of service. Whether we can help with a particular issue depends on the issue and those terms (for example, issues that existed before you joined may not be covered), so contact us early.
We advocate on workplace policy, procedures and system changes. Under Federal Law, you are entitled to appoint one of our AMPS Inc representatives to the bargaining table to negotiate your Enterprise Agreement. If you have an Enterprise Agreement that you would like us to bargain for you, please check the "Enterprise Bargaining Representation Request" section of your member dashboard. Once there, please check our list of Agreements we're currently negotiating and appoint us as your bargaining agent or complete the representation request form.
