The foundation dedicates around $1.5 million to medical research each year; supports our Indigenous health and overseas aid activities; and raises the profile of college-supported research.

From formal submissions to social media campaigns, we leverage our professional reputation and relationships to advocate on issues affecting our specialties; our members; and the patients under their care.

The purpose of the Professional Practice Research Network (PPRN) is to promote research in professional practice.

Find out why we're a recognised world leader in training, education, research, and setting clinical standards for our specialties; what we're doing to foster safe and high quality patient care.

All of our surveys have undergone stringent peer review to ensure they're rigorously designed and written; respect participants' confidentiality; and avoid over-burdening our fellows and trainees.

Launching in 2023, the Rural Generalist Anaesthesia training program is a joint initiative of ANZCA, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).
