Tasmania By Laws

Following extensive consultation with our members in Tasmania and nationally, AMA Tasmania members voted in support of future proofing and agreed to close AMA Tasmania and transfer its assets to the Australian Medical Association on 31 May 2024.

Starting 1 June 2024, Tasmania commenced operating as a branch of the Australian Medical Association.

These new by-laws officially reflect those changes and establish it as a branch of the Association from that date.
