Protection and support for your career and life

When you gain fellowship from your medical college, you’ll have many decisions to make; from joining or starting a private practice, staying in the hospital system or conducting research, to choosing a medical indemnity insurer that supports you professionally and personally.

Avant offers more than quality medical indemnity. You receive holistic support to help you practise at your best, and access to products and services to assist you through your life and career.

It's why more than half of Australia's recently fellowed doctors choose Avant to protect their reputation.+

Avant gives me the peace of mind I need for the next step in my career.

Get a four-year boost when you start in private practice

Moving into private medical practice brings a sense of freedom. It can also be expensive. Avant helps ease the financial pressure in those critical early years with substantial savings on your Practitioner Indemnity Insurance.

With our Getting Started in Private Practice (GSIPP) Program*, you may be eligible to save up to 80% off the cost of your professional indemnity premium in your first four years of practice.

Responsive medical indemnity cover

Avant’s responsive practitioner indemnity policy includes cover for compensation claims, disciplinary and other matters, telehealth activities, employment disputes, mandatory reporting and lots more. You can practise with confidence, knowing you have the right level of protection, with the backing of Australia’s largest in-house specialist medico-legal team. Cover is subject to the full terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy.
