PROTECTING YOUR PURPOSE in 3 easy steps
2. Review your quote
3. Apply to MIPS
MIPS membership ceases at 30 June each year. Check with your existing provider for cancellation fees. You can pay your membership fee by monthly instalments at no additional cost.
Before applying for membership, you should read the Member Handbook. This document includes our categories of membership, our financial services guide, product disclosure statement and summarises the benefits of membership including indemnity insurance.
To assist you in selecting the correct membership classifications, read our article on category selection.
Changing from another Medical Defence Organisation
Many practitioners who switch to MIPS are surprised how easy the transition is. Nominating the correct retroactive date provides uninterrupted cover for previous years of practice and a membership quote will help you to make an informed decision. In most cases, if you cancel your cover with your existing indemnity organisation you will receive a refund for a portion of the unused indemnity for the period of insurance (typically a calendar year or financial year).
Contact us with any questions about membership on 1800 061 113 or info@mips.com.au
