1. NACCHO Employment News: 

The Australian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) and the Australian Indigenous Doctors’ Association (AIDA) have renewed their agreement to work together to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing and provide support for Indigenous Australian medical students.

AIDA President, Dr Kristopher Rallah-Baker, and AMSA President, Jessica Yang, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during AIDA’s Student Representative Committee (SRC) Meeting at Old Parliament House in Canberra on 1 March.

Ms Yang said that the MOU is a joint commitment to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

“AMSA and AIDA are committed to ongoing collaboration on crucial policy issues, including the recruitment and retention of Indigenous medical students,” Ms Yang said.

“AMSA is also committed to increasing the accessibility to our events for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students,” Ms Yang said.

Representatives from all of Australia’s 22 medical schools last year voted in favour of AMSA’s 2019 National Priorities forming the basis for AMSA’s advocacy. Australian medical students have consistently identified the health of Australia’s Indigenous people as a critical priority.

Ms Yang said that AMSA has also launched its Indigenous Health Project, a joint initiative between AMSA and AIDA to improve AMSA’s engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and strengthen relationships between AIDA and Australian medical societies.

“AMSA’s Indigenous Health Project is an important initiative, led by AIDA, to improve AMSA’s support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students,” Ms Yang said.

“We acknowledge the outstanding contributions from AIDA members, Ben Jones, Megan Kent, and Russell Thompson, and 2018 AMSA President, Alex Farrell, in bringing this project to life.”

AIDA is the peak representative body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students and doctors in Australia. AIDA is a not-for-profit association working towards equitable health and life outcomes, and the cultural wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

AMSA is the peak representative body of Australia’s 17,000 medical students.

Both organisations aim to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students, with a focus on increasing the recruitment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, and providing support to current students.

Callouts for AMSA Indigenous Health Project are now open!

MSA are seeking passionate and skilled medical students who are looking for an opportunity to contribute to how AMSA engages with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and supports Indigenous Australian medical students.

The Australian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) and the Australian Indigenous Doctors’ Association (AIDA) are excited to announce that applications are now open for the inaugural AMSA Indigenous Health Project team! We are seeking passionate and skilled medical students who are looking for an opportunity to contribute to how AMSA engages with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and supports Indigenous Australian medical students.

These positions are open to all medical students, regardless of the stage you are at in your degree. Most importantly, there is no prior experience in either AMSA or AIDA required for the role!

For this project team we are seeking:

  • 3-4 team members (applicants may be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander or non-Indigenous)
  • One Indigenous team member will be invited to be the Lead Project Coordinator. This person will also need to be a member of AIDA. The following are additional application requirements:
  • A maximum 1-page expression of interest outlining why you are passionate about joining this team
  • Curriculum Vitae (maximum 2 pages)
  • A brief informal teleconference interview with a small interview panel comprising of both the AMSA President and AIDA Student Director.

Applications close 12 March 2019 at 11.59 pm and are to be emailed to benjamin.jones@aida.org.au.

Research Assistant, Injury Team and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program

  • Full time (1.0 FTE), fixed term for 2 years
  • Respected global research organisation
  • Make an impact on global health outcomes

‘The George’ is 600+ people globally focused on improving the health of millions of people. A medical research institute affiliated with leading universities and with projects in approximately 50 countries, we are challenging the status quo in healthcare to find the best ways to prevent and treat chronic disease and injury, and to influence policy and practice worldwide.

This role will provide research assistance to the Injury Division and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program. The role will also be supported by and work with the Research Support and Administration team in collaboration with the Academic Project Operations team who provide overall administrative and research services support.

The Injury Team seeks to identify and test cost-effective programs to reduce the global burden of injury, influence policy and scale up proven programs for sustainable change. Our research cuts across the causes of unintentional injury that contribute most to the global burden – road injury, falls, burns and drowning. Our global research extends from Australia across Asia and Africa, with major collaborations ongoing in India, China, Vietnam and Bangladesh.

Improving the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations is a major priority for the George Institute. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program is a cross cutting program. We work in partnership with Aboriginal communities, research organisations and other key stakeholders in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health to conduct high quality research that delivers meaningful impact. The underlying principles of our program ensure genuine engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities with research broadly spanning across social determinants of health, healthcare delivery and key conditions and injuries.
