About Avant
Avant is Australia’s leading medical defense organisation with a proud heritage of protecting Australian medical professionals for over 125 years. It was established by a small group of doctors
in 1893, who wanted to “protect themselves from actions arising out of the practice of medicine”.
Avant now represents 82,000 health practitioners and medical students across every state and territory, delivering market leading products and services to meet their professional, personal and
practice needs. Building on this heritage, our vision is to be the most trusted professional partner in supporting doctors throughout their lives and careers.
As a mutual organisation, owned by members and run purely for their benefit, our members are at the centre of all we do. As well as providing products and services to our member, we play a broader
community role by advocating for improvements in the healthcare system and in quality, safety and professionalism in medicine, through delivering education and research activities.
The commitment to members and the profession from our ~850 staff has resulted in over 50% of Australia’s doctors choosing to be Avant members, delivered annual revenues of $445 million and
net assets of ~$2 billion.
