Why do you need your own insurance?
As a junior doctor you face important decisions that will ultimately shape your medical career. Your skill and reputation are building, making it more important than ever to have insurance that protects and supports you.
Despite being indemnified by your employer, this may not be all you need. The cover can be restricted and may not protect you in every circumstance. Discover a range of scenarios where you'll benefit from your own independent insurance and having MIGA "on your side".
MIGA is a proud partner of Women's Healthcare and Children's Healthcare Australasia - supporting excellence in health care for women, babies, children and young people.
^Based on the Category of cover - "Salaried Medical Officer in Training", working in South Australia and including all statutory charges (as at July 2011). Total cost will be lower for doctors working in other states. This category of insurance excludes any private practice in Cosmetics, Neurosurgery or Obstetrics. GP Registrars not predominantly employed in the public sector and those undertaking training in Obstetrics will need to select a category of insurance from the GP Registrar categories outlined on page 13 of the Categories of Insurance Guide.
