The Australian Medical Association (WA) negotiates employment terms and conditions on behalf of public hospital doctors in the State. The Association also provides individual advocacy and representation as well as broader health system advocacy, all of which has resulted in better working and professional conditions for doctors and improved outcomes for their patients.

The AMA (WA) meets monthly with the WA Health Minister and the WA Director General of Health to advocate on behalf of members in relation to individual, departmental and system-wide issues.
The views and opinions of public hospital doctors in WA are presented to the AMA (WA) through the Public Hospital Doctors Practice Group, which meets monthly.
