Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Māori Health

The College's vision for reconciliation addresses the inequities in health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The College is progressing a strategy to achieve equity for Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Better Outcomes for Patients

ACEM seeks to continually improve the level of patient care delivered at emergency departments in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

Building Respect in Emergency Medicine

ACEM has committed to two key action plans that will help enact meaningful cultural change in the College and in emergency departments.

Global Emergency Care

Global Emergency Care (GEC), integrates emergency care with the field of global health incorporating clinical service provision, capacity building and health systems strengthening for time-sensitive healthcare. It includes development activities as well as aspects of disaster health, humanitarian assistance and surge response.

National Program

The National Program aims to address some of the big challenges facing emergency medical care across Australia, including improving the quality and distribution of the future emergency medicine workforce. It includes a range of projects, facilitated by ACEM and funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health’s Specialist Training Program

Networks

Networks are virtual communities of practice that enable members with a special interest to connect and share. Network members are active in building vibrant communities, led by their Executive.

Research at ACEM

Aims to understand the issues impacting on emergency medicine and to evaluate our education and training programs. We also coordinate ACEM's clinical trials and epidemiology networks.

Sustaining Our Workforce

Emergency department staffing must allow for the delivery of high-quality patient care.
