Friends almost reunited? 5000 AMA WA members expected to be welcomed back into the fold
The federal AMA kicked out its 5000 WA members in February amid a bitter row over subscription fees.
Five thousand doctors in WA who were booted out of the federal AMA are expected to be welcomed back into the fold in the coming weeks.
It follows an in-principal agreement between the federal AMA and AMA WA after they fell out over the subscription fees that the state organisation was collecting to fund the lobby group’s activities in Canberra.
No official figure has been made public, but it is understood that AMA WA withheld some $1 million — around half the figure it was meant to collect on behalf of the federal AMA last year.
The row resulted in a federal AMA email in February telling AMA WA members they were no longer part of the national organisation.
