Health and wellbeing
The wellbeing of doctors is essential for the delivery of healthcare. Avant’s vision is to support doctors throughout their lives and careers, which puts your wellbeing central to our purpose.
A career in medicine has many challenges. Avant wants to help you prioritise your health and wellbeing. We provide resources, support and advice tailored to the needs of Australian doctors, to help you better face the challenges of a career in medicine and provide the highest level of care to your patients.
Assess your wellbeing
Avant members have access to the My Well-Being Index (WBI) app which is 100% anonymous. Customised for Australian doctors, the app uses the Well-Being Index developed by the Mayo Clinic for Doctors to help users identify burnout and increase awareness of your wellbeing.
