Advocacy plan
16 October 2024
The college’s advocacy plan for the 2025-2027 period has been published on the website.
The ANZCA Advocacy Plan 2025-2027 plan sets out the strategic advocacy planning for the college for the next three years. It aims to bring together a plan of work to strengthen organisational coherence of our efforts to enhance the college’s identity among governments, clinicians, the public and peer agencies as an evidence-based agent of change in pursuit of our purpose and key advocacy goals.
There are four priority advocacy focus areas for the college:
-
Enhancing awareness and understanding of what we do (anaesthetists, pain medicine specialists, perioperative medicine and the college in general) and our essential role in the health system
-
Improving access to specialist pain medicine services
-
Embedding perioperative medicine
-
Ensuring workforce sustainability, diversity and welfare, and seeking to address rural and regional workforce issues
Advocating to all levels of government and a broad range of organisations, and working in partnership with them to inform policy, is an essential role of ANZCA as the voice of our anaesthesia and specialist pain medicine community.
