Why do you need insurance?

In medicine, there is a degree of inherent risk, and your reputation can be critical to a successful career. You can help protect your career by having a professional indemnity policy in place.

Membership with Avant means you will be backed by the largest in-house specialist medico-legal team of any medical defence organisation in Australia. This is important because your university may not cover you in every medico-legal circumstance.
