THE SPECIALTY

Anaesthetists practising optimally on behalf of patients, their safety and the health system.

Our vision

ASA

An exemplary society of anaesthetists advocating for the specialty, patients, patient safety and an accessible, equitable health system.

Our mission

The mission of the ASA is to support members and advance their skills while advocating for the anaesthesia specialty to ensure safe and high-quality patient care for the Australian public.

Implementation

To advance its Mission, ASA will:

the anaesthesia specialty to stakeholders.

Advocate

Engage

with anaesthetists and provide member services.

Provide

professional development activities and resources.

Support

The ASA is accountable to the ACNC and in accordance with the Charities Act 2013 (Cth) fulfils a charitable purpose through activities such as:

  • advancing health
  • advancing education
  • advancing the natural environment
  • other similar purposes ‘beneficial to the general public,’ and promoting or opposing a change to any matter established by law, policy or practice in the Commonwealth, a state, a territory or another country (where that change furthers or opposes one or more of the purposes above).
 

This is reflected through ASA Objects which include:

a. To advance the science and art of anaesthesia in Australia and related disciplines to achieve international best practice.
b. To promote education and training in anaesthesia and related disciplines.
c. To encourage and support research related to anaesthesia.
d. To facilitate communication between practitioners in anaesthesia and related disciplines.
e. To prescribe high standards of practice and professional conduct and to maintain the objects of such standards.
