Announcements
In December 2025, AMA Queensland decided to leave the federated AMA and is no longer offering conjoint membership with federal AMA. That decision means that going forward the fees Queensland members have paid or will pay for membership of AMA Queensland will no longer give them membership of the federal AMA.
Historically, the fee paid by Queensland members included the subscriptions for both AMA Queensland and the federal AMA making doctors members of both organisations (conjoint membership). Around 45 percent of what members paid was the fee for membership of the federal AMA and all its associated advocacy and activities on members’ behalf.
In January 2026, a Queensland Branch of the AMA is established to ensure Queensland members stay connected to national advocacy, workplace support, and the full suite of federal AMA member benefits.
