Critical Care, Resuscitation, Airway Skills: Helping You Return to Work
The Australian Society of Anaesthetists recognise the importance of ensuring that anaesthetists returning to work after a period away can do so with confidence.
To this end the ASA is offering scholarships to members who are returning to work after a period of leave to undertake the “Critical Care, Resuscitation, Airway Skills: Helping You Return to Work – CRASH Course.”
- CRASH has been designed by critical care specialists and educators to form part of a structured return to work process after a period of leave.
- It is facilitated by a dedicated faculty, with a high faculty: participant ratio
- CRASH meets the ANZCA requirements for two emergency responses plus additional CME
- CRASH is recommended by CICM as part of a return to work process, providing simulation (F2F), emergency scenarios, skills practice and clinical decision-making support to refresh knowledge, as well as practical tips on returning to work.
CRASH face-to-face (which may be half or full day) has two emergency responses.
CRASH virtual is accredited for one emergency response.

ASA CRASH Course Scholarship application
Complete the online ASA CRASH Course Scholarship application and attach your receipt.
Should your application be successful, you will be informed by the ASA and scholarship funds will be paid into your nominated bank account. All successful applicants must use the scholarship within one year (12 months) of it being awarded.
Please note that the financial scholarships are dependent on applicants attending the CRASH Course. Therefore, if you are unable to attend the course for any reason, you’ll be expected to refund any monies received from the ASA.
The scholarship is a contribution designed to partially offset the registration costs of undertaking the CRASH Course, as outlined below:
- For a virtual course that amount is $200
- For face to face course that amount is $400
There is a maximum of 20 scholarships awarded for the financial year.
Any ASA member returning to work after a period of leave be it parental (including maternity and paternity), overseas fellowship, cross specialty training, research or wanting to refresh their skills after a break in practice may apply for a scholarship.
Applicants must have been a financial ASA member for a minimum of one year to be eligible for the scholarship.
