ASMOFQ
ASMOFQ's team has the ability and expertise to provide specialised health profession services, advice and advocacy on all industrial and workplace relations matters affecting employee doctor members. It represents salaried medical officers, visiting medical officers (VMOs), senior medical officers (SMOs), international medical graduates (IMGs), residents and interns.
ASMOFQ is also heavily involved in protecting the legal and legislative interests of salaried doctors. It works with the state government on matters such as the Medical Officers Certified Agreement (MOCA) which governs the remuneration and working conditions for salaried doctors.
