Introducing the Doctors' Health Alliance

Founded in 2022 the national Doctors’ Health Alliance's mission is improving the health of the medical profession for the good of the Australian community.

This Alliance was created by the Australasian Doctors’ Health Network (ADHN) who have collaborated for over 25 years as the key forum for doctors’ health programs across Australia and New Zealand to share resources, research and programs.

The Doctors’ Health Alliance is an independent not-for-profit company with charitable and DGR status. It is overseen by a skills-based board and governance structure that includes a national doctors’ health expert panel to advise on clinical service delivery, training, education and research.

The Alliance is working with every state and territory doctors’ health program to source new inputs, expand clinical networks, training and education and clinical services to isolated doctors. It will continue to strengthen local and national partnerships with organisations such as the AMA, medical colleges, regulators, universities, indemnity providers and government.

The key driving forces behind the Alliance are Executive Officer Kiara Cannizzaro and Chair Dr Roger Sexton. You can hear more from this dream team in our podcast conversation in S3 E10.
