ANZCA Council and committees

The ANZCA Council governs the college with the support of the FPM Board and various committees. Its roles include reviewing and approving the annual strategic plan and budget, and developing and monitoring key performance indicators and other benchmarks.

The council has 15 voting members (or directors) that consists of 13 elected members including the New Fellow Councillor, the Dean of the Faculty of Pain Medicine, and one co-opted councillor. The quorum of voting members is eight. Representatives of ANZCA committees and sister organisations, and members of staff also attend council meetings.

ANZCA is governed by the ANZCA Constitution. This describes the structure and process of the college, and is a legal requirement for members to follow. The ANZCA Regulations are directives issued by council to implement the provisions of the constitution.
