The Salaried or Contracted Senior Medical Staff (non-hospital based) Subdivision has been created to improve representation for AMA Victoria’s non-hospital based members. This group includes senior medial staff, post-fellowship, including full time or part time, who are predominantly employed by, or who prefer to identify with, an organisation other than private practice and the public hospital system (e.g. universities, government departments, private organisations and research institutions). 

Members have the opportunity to meet and discuss challenges and opportunities that are specific to their career stage.

Current office bearers:

Council representative(s):

  1. Vacant

Chair of the subdivision: Vacant

Secretary of the subdivision: Vacant

To organise or attend a subdivision meeting, please contact the corporate secretariat team on [email protected]

The number of Subdivision Representatives which a subdivision is entitled to have on the Council depends on its size.

Please note: If you have questions about your subdivision(s), please contact AMAVic on (03) 9280 8722 or email [email protected].

Subdivision elections

Each subdivision must elect a chair, a secretary and the appropriate number of Council representatives reflecting the size of the subdivision. Each subdivision representative will control up to 250 votes at State Council, depending on the size of the subdivision.

Please note: Chairs and secretaries of subdivisions do not carry voting rights.

Only representatives are allowed to participate and vote at the AMAVIC State Council. It is open to members to nominate for a leadership role (chair and secretary) and a Council representative role.


AMA Victoria's 2026 Subdivisions – Another Opportunity for Leadership Roles

We are pleased to announce that all nominations received to date for subdivision leadership roles for the 2026-27 year are declared elected, unless you have been advised that an election is required for the position.

There are still vacancies, particularly for Council Representatives, in a number of Geographical and Vocational Subdivisions and so we have re-opened nominations.

Remaining vacancies will be filled on a First Come First Served basis – so get in quickly!

Nominations have now re-opened for the following office bearer positions in your subdivision:

  1. Chair – the leader of the subdivision

  2. Secretary - responsible for organising meetings and keeping minutes

  3. Council Subdivision Representative/s (1 representative position per 250 members or part thereof)

For members interested in furthering their leadership aspirations, this is a golden opportunity.

Remember, you must be on the 2026-27 AMA Victoria Council before you can nominate for an AMA Victoria Board position and nominating for a Council Representative position in one or both of your subdivisions is one of the easiest ways of achieving this.

In addition, there is an added ‘bonus’ for members who nominate as Chair, Secretary or Council Representative of some subdivisions who then become ‘ex officio’ members of their related AMA Victoria Policy Councils, as follows:

These Policy Councils have been a very successful initiative of the AMA Victoria Board. They are composed of motivated members who meet regularly to engage on issues relevant to their membership cohort and actively submit policy motions to the AMA Victoria Council for escalation to the AMA Victoria Board.
