We support research in anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative medicine to improve patient outcomes through funding and resources, collaboration, and networks. 

ANZCA is one of the largest specialist medical colleges in Australia and New Zealand, and the region's foremost authority on anaesthesia, pain and perioperative medicine.

The foundation dedicates more than $1.5 million to medical research each year; supports our Indigenous health and overseas aid activities; and raises the profile of college-supported research.

Our institutional research repository collects, centralises, and promotes the significant amount of important research published by the college’s fellows and trainees.

Our Research Consultation Service provides support through literature searching, publishing advice, and the research lifecycle to facilitate the translation of research-based evidence about anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative medicine into policy and practice.

Expressions of interest are sought from fellows to join the committee in early 2025.
