The AMA, through the Public Affairs Department, lets people know what the AMA is doing in health policy, public health and medical programs, advocacy, and lobbying on behalf of our members. It promotes public relations events like Family Doctor Week, the Parliamentary Breakfast, seminars, forums and summits. The department also prepares media releases, speeches, video and audio scripts, and assist the AMA's elected leaders with the preparation and placement of articles, columns and letters to newspapers and other publications. In addition, it produces the membership magazine, Australian Medicine, the Annual Report, the AMA Budget Submission, and various pamphlets, posters and flyers. The Public Affairs Department also coordinates all media activity undertaken by the President and other office holders, including media interviews, media liaison, media training and visits to towns and suburbs all over Australia to highlight the AMA message.
