Why MIPS

We’re here to protect and support members in some of their most difficult career moments. Medicine and dentistry are specialist careers and require equally matched specialist support and protection. When the circumstances call for action, we’re prepared.

No sub-limits

We don’t have any sub-limits for civil liability or defence costs in our indemnity insurance cover. We simply have the one limit of $20 million per claim and in the aggregate for the policy period (financial year).

No hidden fees

Your MIPS membership includes all the listed benefits regardless of the services you access. Your annual fee will only be impacted if your practice requirements change.

24/7 Medico-legal support

When you call our 24-hour Medico-Legal Support line, you can speak with an experienced advisor, not administrative staff. We have both clinical and legal advisers.

Best legal representation

We have an in-house legal team which is supported by a panel of law firms. This means we can employ the best in the business to represent our members.
