ANZCA is proud to launch its new Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2025–2027, marking the next stage of our college’s reconciliation journey.

Underpinned by the RAP framework of relationships, respect and opportunities, our RAP reflects our ongoing and renewed commitment to our reconciliation vision, supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ training and career opportunities, health and wellbeing. This plan builds on the achievements of our first Innovate RAP and outlines clear, measurable actions to drive reconciliation outcomes both within our institution and through our circle of influence.

The 2025–2027 RAP strengthens our focus on:

  • Embedding cultural learning into training, assessment, and professional development.
  • Supporting and increasing the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander anaesthesia and pain medicine workforce.
  • Building and maintaining strong and respectful partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, patients, and health organisations.
  • Ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices guide our work through the Indigenous Health Committee, projects and dedicated working groups.

We encourage you to read the Innovate RAP 2025–2027 and consider how you can contribute to reconciliation.
