ANZCA Council Awards
ANZCA Council Awards recognise the most significant and extraordinary contributions (clinical and non-clinical) made by our fellows, trainees, and SIMGs.
The awards are a chance for our members to celebrate the contributions and outstanding achievements of individuals within their departments or communities. Nominations are adjudicated by the Awards Advisory Panel (AAP) to maintain equity, consistency, access and governance standards across the college. Nominations for 2024 open 16 September and close 1 November.
A broad submission outlining the contributions and achievements of nominees is required to be completed on the nomination form. When completing an award nomination you do not need to choose a particular award. The awards advisory panel will assess all nominations and make a final determination on the award to which the nomination is best suited. ANZCA Council will make the final decision.
