Founded in 2002, the Australian Medical Education Service (AMES) is a non-profit, non-government organization that provides educational and professional services to students in Australia, Asia and New Zealand. The organization's primary focus is to improve the health and wellbeing of students, physicians, medical staff and their families. It has been recognized for its commitment to providing high-quality training and education in medical practice and is a member of the International Medical Education Association (IMEA).

Volunteers

Earlier this year, Volunteers for AMES Australia held a celebration to thank their volunteers for their contributions. The event also served as an opportunity to highlight the best of the best.

AMES Australia has a wide array of employment, training, and community engagement programs. Some of these programs are aimed at supporting migrants and asylum seekers with their settlement and job search. Others are targeted at professional migrants seeking to enhance their career development. The organization also operates a social enterprise, the Multicultural Hub. Among other programs, AMES Australia provides a number of adult education courses.

AMES Australia is also a major supplier of specialist employment services in Melbourne. This includes a variety of vocational training programs and English language courses.

Technology integrations

Various technology integrations at AMES Australia have shown some interesting results. For example, in one case, a simple integration of Salesforce into AMES ERP was able to increase real-time insights into customer data. Similarly, a new Flare Benefits & Discounts platform was designed to improve the customer experience.

Technology integrations at AMES Australia have not only been good for business, but also good for the community. For example, the organisation offers settlement support, employment services, English training and community engagement. They also introduced a new Flare benefits and discounts platform for their employees. This allowed them to offer discounts and novated car lease packages for their employees. This not only helped them attract new talent, but also made them more budget friendly.

COVID-19 compliance

Despite more than 2 million tests being carried out over the past two months, AMES Australia's COVID-19 compliance continues to be below expectations. The total number of active cases in Victoria has dropped to 1,696. Almost one in eight people in aged care and a number of health care workers are affected.

AMES Australia's media team will update its readers on the situation each week. We encourage you to seek the latest information via trusted sources.

In Victoria, the roll-out of COVID safe plans in workplaces has continued. However, there are still seven suspected cases awaiting test results. In NSW, a security guard tested positive for the virus.

NSW's Premier Gladys Berejiklian has warned that more COVID restrictions will be implemented in the near future. New rules on public order laws could mean fines of up to $1000 for breaches.

Whether you're looking to build a more diverse workforce or improve your business's commercial understanding of your customers, AMES Australia can help you to make your goals a reality.
