What Doctors Health Services Pty Ltd (Drs4Drs) does

Doctors Health Services Pty Ltd (Drs4Drs) is an Australian national not-for-profit organization established in 2015 as an independent subsidiary of AMA Ltd, providing free, confidential health and wellbeing support services to doctors and medical students across all Australian states and territories. The organization operates a 24/7 national helpline (1300 374 377), a network of independent state and territory doctors' health services staffed by doctors trained in doctors' health, and a national telecounselling service delivered in partnership with Converge International (providing up to three free counselling sessions with registered psychologists, social workers, and qualified counsellors). Its core technology consists of an online learning platform hosting CPD-certified self-paced modules (including the "Being a Dr4Drs" course), a resources library, and the helpline infrastructure; there is no proprietary AI or advanced technology component.

The organization also functions as a national policy and coordination body, convening the National Doctors Health & Wellbeing Leadership Alliance (established April 2023) and stewarding the Every Doctor, Every Setting (EDES) Framework, whose Action Plan was launched in February 2025. Drs4Drs serves a defined set of persona segments including medical students, doctors in training, rural and isolated doctors, international medical graduates, senior medical officers, retiring doctors, and colleagues and families of doctors — explicitly excluding the general public. All services are provided free of charge.

Drs4Drs is funded primarily by the Medical Board of Australia and the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, with additional contributions from the Tasmanian and ACT governments, and accepts tax-deductible donations as a Deductible Gift Recipient. The organization is governed by an independent Board chaired by Dr Iain Dunlop AM with Natalia Centellas serving as Secretary General and Group CEO. It is registered with the ACNC and operates from Level 1, 39 Brisbane Avenue, Barton ACT.
