Your college ID provides free 24/7 online access to one of the world's most comprehensive collections of anaesthesia, perioperative, and pain medicine textbooks, journals, tools guides and databases.

Whether you're starting out as a specialist, or being admitted to fellowship for a second time, here's everything you need to know, from presenting at the college ceremony to building your professional networks.

Perioperative medicine emphasises the importance of an integrated, planned, and personalised approach to patient care before, during, and after any surgical procedure involving anaesthesia.

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.

Our advanced certificate in diving and hyperbaric medicine (ANZCA Adv Cert DHM) provides a unique opportunity for specialist doctors to "take the plunge" into an exciting, emerging area of medicine.

We notify members of important safety, quality, and supply issues affecting the medicines and medical devices they use. This information generally comes via the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia or MedSafe in New Zealand.

Most of us will need the care of an anaesthetist at some stage in our lives. We've created this information to help you feel more relaxed about having surgery under anaesthesia.
