Australian Indigenous Doctors’ Association

Australian Indigenous Doctors’ Association (AIDA) is a not-for-profit, member-based, professional association supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students and doctors.

Our purpose is to contribute to equitable health and life outcomes and the cultural wellbeing of Indigenous people. We do this by working towards reaching population parity of Indigenous medical students and doctors, and supporting a culturally safe healthcare system.

Mentoring

AIDA provides mentoring as a benefit for our members; it is a way for our members to support and guide each other through their medical studies and then careers as Indigenous medical doctors.

We understand that forming mentoring relationships with other AIDA members is a valued benefit of AIDA membership, and in 2020 we are reviewing the way we facilitate mentoring opportunities for our members.

For more information about mentoring, email us at mentoring@aida.org.au or give our membership coordinator a call on 1800 190 498.

Cultural safety

Further to our cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors, medical students and patients, AIDA has developed the resources to provide guidance on implementing cultural safety in the health care context.

The AIDA Cultural Safety Factsheet gives further context to our position paper, providing some examples of work AIDA has undertaken to advocate for cultural safety.

The AIDA Cultural Safety Toolkit is a broad compilation of education and information resources and is intended to evolve over time. AIDA welcomes feedback and suggestions to enhance this resource.
