Indexation in nuclear medicine is our number one priority and part of our indexation campaign is lobbying federal MPs.

The more federal MPs know about lack of indexation in NM the better the chances of a successful campaign. We encourage all AANMS members to take part in our campaign.

If you are interested in lobbying your local federal member, please contact Lisa Maddocks (gm@aanms.org.au or 0418 874 652) and she can help guide you both with materials and the current state of progress with our campaign.
