AMSA ORANGE GUIDE 2023

AMSA SEXUAL &
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
At AMSA Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), we believe in
all individuals’ right to a safe, healthy and enjoyable sexual
and reproductive health journey which is free from shame,
stigma and violence. Our platform is used to educate,
engage and advocate for sexual and reproductive rights
locally and globally.
AMSA CODE GREEN
As medical professionals of the future, we cannot ignore the
devastating impact climate change has on the health of our
patients. Code Green is an Australia-wide platform for
medical students advocating for the mitigation of the causes
of climate change and the adaptation of health care systems
to meet the changing health demands caused by climate
change. We see climate change not as some impending
doom, but as an actionable health-care priority to
meaningfully improve health outcomes for all communities.
AMSA HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Healthy Communities is the newest member of AMSA Global
Health Projects. We advocate for the reduction of unhealthy
environments within our communities to prevent noncommunicable
diseases (NCDs). For example, we focus on
surveillance and prevention.
AMSA CROSSING BORDERS
We represent a community of medical students fighting for
equality, human rights and proper health care for refugees,
asylum seekers and undocumented migrants worldwide,
particularly those in indefinite or offshore detention within
Australia. The Australian government continues to ignore its
international humanitarian responsibilities by turning away
those in need, denying necessary health care and
compromising the human rights of individuals seeking refuge.
AMSA Crossing Borders unites passionate medical students
and encourages them to use their voice to fight for a better
and just future for those who cannot do so themselves.
