Welcome to health care in the Northern Territory and congratulations on your decision to have an exciting and<br />
stimulating professional and social experience. I would urge you in your spare time to explore the beautiful<br />
natural wonders of the NT such as Kakadu, Katherine Gorge, the MacDonnell Ranges and Uluru.<br />
Young doctors that I have regularly spoken to in the NT comment on the rich experience(s) of medicine that<br />
they have exposure to along with the satisfaction of improving the health of Indigenous Territorians both in the<br />
Hospital and the Community.<br />
Australian Medical Association Northern Territory has a strong and proud history of advocacy in Indigenous and<br />
other health issues both within the NT and nationally. As an example, recent efforts by AMA NT, in association<br />
with AMA Indigenous Health Task Force, to address the appalling health issue of Rheumatic Heart Disease<br />
in the Indigenous population of the NT, has resulted in the formation of the national END RHD coalition to<br />
strategically address this health issue on a national level. A further welcome development was the decision<br />
by the Federal Government, after lobbying by END RHD and AMA NT among others, to devote $35 million<br />
dollars to develop a vaccine to provide this disease. AMA NT has also been very active in working with the NT<br />
Government in issues such as alcohol policy and law reform. AMA NT publishes a quarterly newsletter for<br />
members that reports on the work done by AMA NT and national health issues as well as important information<br />
that would assist members. Please contact AMA NT to view the most recent edition.<br />
Anyone seeking further information about any issues above should contact Fiona Thompson, CEO of AMA NT,<br />
at the addresses listed below.<br />
Best Wishes,<br />
