Congratulations to our 2022 prize winners presented during the 2022 ASM.

An important update on the 2023 ANZCA and FPM College Ceremony.

ANZCA has been made aware that some fellows have received phishing emails from a Victorian orthopaedic surgeon’s rooms that includes a link to access confidential patient details.

Medibank has advised ANZCA that it has started contacting via letter or email individual medical specialists and ancillary providers whose data have been impacted by the cybercrime incident in October 2022.

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

A digest of college news coverage for November/December 2021

Following the updated CPD program launch on 1 January 2023, the ANZCA and FPM CPD review project is now in phase two.

FPM dean, Associate Professor Mick Vagg, is calling on faculty fellows to condemn the Australian Government's decision to cut $40 million from desperately needed services for people living with chronic pain after it rejected key recommendations from a national taskforce.

We are updating the ANZCA and FPM continuing professional development (CPD) program due to revised regulatory guidelines. Following ANZCA Council’s approval of the updated CPD requirements, the project has moved into the communication and implementation phase.
