The Australian Medical Council is an organisation whose work impacts across the lands of Australia and New Zealand.
The Australian Medical Council acknowledges the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the original Australians and the Māori People as the tangata whenua (Indigenous) Peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand). We recognise them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
We pay our respects to them and to their Elders, both past, present and emerging, and we recognise their enduring connection to the lands we live and work on, and honour their ongoing connection to those lands, its waters and sky.
Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices and names of people who have passed away.
Consultation is an important part of the AMC’s engagement with stakeholders to ensure proposals are informed by multiple perspectives, including those of education providers, health services, jurisdictions, trainee/student groups, the medical profession, health consumers/the community, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and Māori peak bodies, as well as other health professions.
The feedback received via consultation informs the subsequent development of proposals, standards and policy documents.
Please see below for current consultations.

The AMC is now consulting on the draft model accreditation standards and procedures for specialist medical college accreditation of training settings.
The development of these documents is part of the joint AMC/specialist medical college project to implement Ministerial Policy Direction 2023-01 and the National Health Practitioner Ombudsman (NHPO) recommendations contained in the report, Processes for progress – Part one: a roadmap for greater transparency and accountability in specialist medical training site accreditation, October 2023. Further information regarding this work is available on the AMC website here. An impact assessment for the development of model standards has been prepared and is available for download.
