  • 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.+
