Corporate policies
The activities of ANZCA staff, Fellows and trainees are guided by the following corporate policies.
ANZCA guidelines on assessment
These guidelines provide the goals towards which the College is moving in its assessments. Their purpose is to guide the development and implementation of policies and processes around assessment.
College travel policy
Specific policies apply to Fellows, trainees and staff who travel on approved College business.
Community representation policy (Australia)
ANZCA strives to serve the community by fostering safety and quality patient care in anaesthesia, pain medicine and intensive care medicine. The engagement of community representatives is a valued means of supporting transparency and consistency in decision-making. The community representation policy outlines the College’s commitment and expectations in this area.
Conflict of interest policy
ANZCA’s conflict of interest policy provides guidance in identifying and handling potential and actual conflicts of interest involving the College and its activities. The policy primarily relates to ANZCA councillors and managerial staff, but is intended to raise awareness of conflict issues and guide those who represent ANZCA, including as committee members, examiners, community representatives and staff.
Intellectual property policy
ANZCA creates and contributes to a wide range of policies, research, publications, seminars and documents. Some of the materials created by or for the ANZCA have commercial or strategic value, so ANZCA has an interest in protecting and managing its intellectual property.
Internet, email and computer use policy
The College recognises the usefulness of the internet, email, mobile devices and computer equipment as research, communication and work tools. This policy sets out the appropriate standards of behaviour for users of the College's information technology resources. This policy applies to all staff members of the College, Fellows, trainees, volunteers and contractors (including sub-contractors and temporary contractors).
Policy on bullying, discrimination and harassment for Fellows and trainees acting on behalf of the College or undertaking College functions
ANZCA considers bullying, discrimination and harassment unacceptable behaviour that will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Fellows and trainees acting as College representatives are responsible for their behaviour and should ensure an environment free of bullying, discrimination and harassment.
Privacy policy
ANZCA is committed to ensuring the privacy of individuals. The ANZCA privacy policy communicates clearly the personal information handling practices of the College.
