Doctors for the Environment

Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) is the only organisation of medical professionals in Australia solely focused on promoting good health through care of the environment.

DEA members are GPs, surgeons, physicians, anaesthetists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, public health specialists, academics, medical students and researchers and all are volunteers.

Since forming in 2001, DEA has been guided by the vision, ‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People’. DEA uses compelling scientific evidence to demonstrate the important health benefits of clean air and water, biodiverse natural places, stable climates and sustainable healthcare systems.
