1 PARTNERSHIP GUIDE

2 About AIDA The Australian Indigenous Doctors Association (AIDA) is a not-for-profit, member-based, professional association supporting Indigenous medical students and doctors, and contributing to the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. AIDA s vision is to improve health and life outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and to inform and support a culturally safe healthcare system. In this context, AIDA s work provides the government and other national bodies with key outcomes and deliverables correlating with high level public policy, including the Close the Gap campaign and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan, and its implementation plan. The annual AIDA conference provides networking, professional development and cultural engagement, and is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our Indigenous doctor and student members. AIDA Conference 2018 theme Vision into Action Building on the foundations of our membership, history and diversity, AIDA is shaping a future where we continue to innovate, lead and stay strong in culture. It s an exciting time of change and opportunity in Indigenous health. The AIDA conference supports our members and the health sector by creating an inspiring networking space that engages sector experts, key decision makers, and Indigenous medical students and doctors to join in an Indigenous health focused academic and scientific program. AIDA recognises and respects that the pathway to achieving equitable and culturally safe healthcare for Indigenous Australians is dynamic and complex. Through unity, leadership and collaboration, we create a future where our vision translates into measureable and significantly improved health outcomes for our communities. Now is the time to put that vision into action. Our commitment to you Commitment to our partners begins the moment they confirm their partnership package. We have a dedicated conference team who will provide clear and timely responses and information relating to your partnership package. Our team will do their very best to maximise the exposure of your partnership. A professionally planned marketing strategy will ensure conference partners receive wide-spread exposure in the lead up to, during and post conference. page 2 of 14

12 Sponsor an Indigenous medical student or Indigenous junior medical officer I have connected to this conference on another level, both personally and professionally, more so than other conferences. I have met people with similar interests, passions, struggles and obstacles, which as an Aboriginal person in medicine is a rare encounter. Tamisha King Sponsor an Indigenous medical student or Indigenous junior medical officer $3,500 (inc gst) Each year we provide the opportunity for organisations, individuals and medical colleges to sponsor the conference registration, flights, accommodation and ground transfers for Indigenous medical students and Indigenous junior medical officers who are current AIDA members. These sponsored delegates are required to attend a full conference program and produce a post conference report outlining the key benefits of their attendance. These sponsorship opportunities enable medical students and junior medical officers to attend the AIDA conference when they otherwise may not be able to. AIDA takes care of all the travel, accommodation and transfers for the sponsored student or junior medical officer and we will also liaise with them to produce a post conference report which is later presented to their sponsor. My personal highlight at the AIDA conference was finally receiving my AIDA stethoscope after six long years of studying; it was even more special being up on the stage with so many other amazing Indigenous interns from all over Australia.
