This year ANZCA launched Indigenous health awards; recognising significant and sustainable contributions to Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander or Māori health through a public health initiative or research project.

Concerns have been raised about some fellows who may not be upholding the college's mission statement.

Rural GPs in Australia will be able to access a new rural generalist anaesthesia qualification from 2023 in a collaboration between the ANZCA, the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) and the Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP).

We're seeking nominations from an early to mid-career fellow to represent regional fellows on the Professional Affairs Executive Committee.

A new advanced certificate in paediatric anaesthesia for rural generalist practitioners with advanced training in anaesthesia will be available from 2024.

We've approved a "wellbeing CPD education sessions" activity for the knowledge and skills category of the ANZCA and FPM CPD program.

Engage and collaborate with the college!

Dr Melissa Viney has been appointed as director of professional affairs (DPA) for FPM Education.

The eagerly anticipated fifth edition is now available as a free download.

Through our Global Development Committee, the college has made a donation of £2500 to a WFSA appeal supporting hospitals in Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
