“As a general practitioner who is interested in healthcare system improvement, I joined the AMA so that I could be involved with an organisation that has a seat at the table with decision-makers. Only the AMA has the visibility, expertise and widespread recognition to leverage change at the highest levels of government.”

AMA (NSW) Councillor
“I am passionate about the long-term care of my patients. Over 30 years of practice in Western Sydney I have seen my patients impacted by extreme heat waves, 80 days of smoke during our black summer, flooding and air pollution from combustion engines. Our health is inextricably linked to the environmental determinants of health. We need clean air and water, healthy soils, stable climate, and a healthy ecosystem. Climate change is the greatest threat to our health in the 21st century. The AMA provides doctors a platform for positive change to public health issues.”
Dr Kim Loo, General Practitioner
