Specialist medical practitioners

Personalised protection for Specialist medical practitioners.

As a specialist we understand that you may face a range of risks in your practice. MIPS is here as your partner through uncertainty to reinforce your confidence.

Our insurance cover provides protection for over 40 specialist categories, all with $20 million professional indemnity insurance.

If you’re like many specialists and split your time between hospital work and practice not indemnified by your employer, we can tailor your cover so you’re only paying to cover your specific level of risk.
