Our heritage of protecting and supporting Australian healthcare practitioners spans over a century. Avant was formed by the merger in July 2007 of two of Australias most experienced medical defence organisations: UNITED Medical Protection (established 1893) and the Medical Defence Association of Victoria (established 1895).
With Avant's wealth of experience and expertise in claims management, medico-legal and risk advisory services, legal representation of members and knowledge of the various state and federal legislative frameworks, we are the leading provider of medical indemnity products (via Avant Insurance Limited) and services.
