World-class indemnity, professional development and support

The membership of choice for MOH-employed doctors


As a Ministry of Health (MOH) doctor, you want the best protection possible for your career, including the clinical negligence indemnity you’re legally required to have since the 1 January 2021.

And while your employer may cover you financially for clinical negligence claims, who’s there to protect your reputation and give you expert advice and guidance when you need it?

At Medical Protection, we have the largest medicolegal team of any defence organisation. As a member, you can request indemnity for complaints arising from a range of different situations, and our experts are on your side.

We’re also the only defence organisation that can take care of any personal conduct matters before the regulator on your behalf. You can request advice and assistance, as our protection goes beyond MOH indemnity.
