My member benefitsTrusted advice and evidence-based information in clinical care
We work closely with key decision makers and the medical community to ensure every Australian and New Zealander has access to safe, high-quality, and culturally competent care.
Most of us will need the care of an anaesthetist at some stage in our lives. And one in five of us is living with chronic pain. Australia and New Zealand are two of the safest countries in the world to have surgery under anaesthesia, and patients have access to some of the most advanced pain medicine.
Access prof docs; anaesthesia standards; perioperative anaphylaxis management guidelines; professionalism and performance guidelines; airway management resources; and information on reporting anaesthetic incidents.
