The Medical Directory of Australia (MDA) is the country's leading online medical database used to search and locate doctors and health facilities nationwide. Our team of researchers validates and updates every entry ensuring the quality of the listings.

MDA Online logins are set up for individual use and can only work for a single session and user at a time. Trying to start a new session from another device when the previous session has not been signed out properly, will produce an error.

Make sure you click the “sign out” option when your session is finished. Just closing the browser will not sign out the user.

Alternatively, you can close and start a new session by following the instructions provided when the issue happens. The message displayed is the following:

“User is logged in on a different browser/device or your browser has locked your session after closing without logging out.
Enter your details to start a new session”

Just enter your login details to force closing your previous session and open another.
In case the issue persists, contact support@mda.com.au

This message is displayed when login information is incorrect, it can be that your email login does not match your MDA Online user email, your password is not correct or a combination of both.

MDA Online offers multiple concurrent user plans. Depending on the plan, a subscription may allow up to 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 75 and 100 concurrent users. When reaching the limit of concurrent users your plan allows, this message will display.

In this case, access will be possible if other active users log out from the system.

MDA Online times out after 2 hours of inactivity. This measure prevents unauthorised access to the system which not only comprises Search related screens but includes your accounts details and change password functionality.
