Graduating as a medical doctor or a Fellow is a huge achievement, and it is a privilege to be able to celebrate with you as you help to contribute towards equitable health outcomes.
To mark this momentous achievement in becoming an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander doctor and/or Fellow, all AIDA members are gifted with a hand-painted AIDA stethoscope upon graduating from medical school and/or becoming a Fellow.
The AIDA stethoscope symbolises the history and future of First Nations medicine as each additional doctor and Fellow works to change the landscape of healthcare across Australia.
AIDA will present the appropriate stethoscope to members during a special ceremony at the Gala Dinner on Saturday 29 November during our annual conference. If you would like to receive your stethoscope, fill in the form on the website below.
You must have graduated within 3 years as of the conference date, 27 November 2025.
If you are receiving a framed stethoscope at the AIDA 2025 Conference, please ensure to have space in your luggage to take the frame home as you will be responsible for transporting it with you.
Please note, eligible recipients must notify AIDA by 24 September 2025 to receive their stethoscope at this year’s conference.
