About AMA Queensland Foundation
The AMA Queensland Foundation brings together medical colleagues and the business community to deliver vital services outside those catered for by the public health system. We were established in 2000 as the charitable arm of AMA Queensland, with a mission to improve medical conditions in areas of need.

Support the AMA Queensland Foundation Christmas Appeal
We are asking for your continued support for the 2024 AMA Queensland Foundation Christmas Appeal, which will raise money for family violence support services to continue their work.
This Christmas, as we celebrate the season of giving, let’s come together to bring hope and safety to families affected by domestic violence. For many, the holiday season isn’t filled with joy or warmth but rather the burden of fear and uncertainty. The demand for safe spaces and support is more crucial than ever, and with your help, we can help provide comfort, shelter, and vital resources to those in need.
Family violence support services
Domestic and family violence involves abusive and violent behaviour towards a partner, former partner or family member. It extends beyond physical violence, and can involve actions that control, humiliate or scare the other person or people in the household.
National statistics can help us understand the gravity of the situation, but alarmingly, many victims of domestic and family violence will never report their experience. With many incidents going unreported, domestic and family violence may be much worse than we think.
Your kind donation will give hope to families that 2025 might be safer and less stressful.
Thank you for your consideration and for your financial support!

Chair, AMA Queensland Foundation
