Free membership for interns and house officers


As an intern or house officer working in a public hospital, your employer provides indemnity against clinical negligence claims arising from your professional practice. But who’s there to protect your reputation and give you expert advice and guidance when you need it?

Medical Protection is ready to support you when you need it most.


As a member you can request advice and legal representation for Medical Council investigations, disciplinary and regulatory proceedings and criminal investigations related to your professional practice. You can also access confidential counselling, which includes support for work-related stress that may impact your practice, such as burnout, anxiety and conflict.
