MBA NSW_ACT~ BY DOCTORS FOR DOCTORS AND THEIR FAMILIES ~ SINCE 1896 

 IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES, SHOW YOUR COLLEAGUES YOU CARE

Australian studies indicate that doctors’ mental health is at an all-time low. Contributing factors include excessive shift work; chronic exposure to trauma; uncertain career paths; significant educational financial burden; stressful workplace cultures; the increasing aggression of patients; and the higher risk of infection accentuated by the pandemic. Recent research indicates that 58% of doctors are experiencing symptoms of distress, which if left untreated, may cause burnout. Yet, studies show that less than 2% of doctors who are distressed, will call out for help.

So whilst demand for our services has increased significantly over the past 3 years, what is worrying is that there are many more doctors who are suffering in silence. We need to get the message to them that there are specilaised, independent and confidential services like MBA NSW-ACT here to support them. We need to break down the stigma associated with doctors seeking help as well as continue our advocacy work for the systematic changes and tragetted interventions needed to reduce the pressure placed on doctors and the general healthcare workforcce.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO THIS ...NOW!

If every doctor in NSW and the ACT  provided a single, tax-deductible gift of $50 today, we would be able to assist 100% of doctors needing financial support and invest in more awareness, preventative and peer-support programs. Presently less than 5% of doctors actually donate to the MBA NSW-ACT. 

We need you to DONATE TODAY and SHARE our story. If you could tell two colleagues WHY YOU CHOOSE TO DONATE TO US and one of them takes your recommendation, we could double the work we do and meet every qualifed qualified financial request put to us. 

Can we count on you to help?

Thank you for being part of the solution and donating to our cause!

Yours truly

Dr Andrew Wines, President
