The Training Accreditation Committee (TAC) oversees the accreditation process of training sites in Australia and New Zealand. Accreditation is usually granted for up to five years and training sites are regularly inspected to ensure they meet the required standards found in the ANZCA handbook for accreditation.

Accreditation is given for the maximum duration a trainee may spend in the anaesthesia department at that training site during introductory training, basic training and advanced training. This is determined by:

• Exposure for trainees to a broad range of settings where specialist anaesthetists work.
• Capacity for training in the specialised study units, volume of practice (cases and procedures), ANZCA Roles in Practice, and ANZCA Clinical Fundamentals.

New training sites

1. Contact your ANZCA regional/national committee to be part of a rotational training scheme.
2. If agreed, the regional/national committee will write a letter of support for your training site to gain accreditation.
3. You must complete this form and submit it via email along with the letter of support.
4. TAC will review your application and arrange an inspection.
5. Following inspection, TAC will decide on the application outcome. You will be notified of the outcome.
