My Wellbeing

The College has three Membership and Wellbeing staff based in Melbourne who can connect you with external resources, initiatives and advocates in your region. They can also advise how the College can support you directly, based on your individual circumstances. For example, find you an EM mentor. You can contact the ACEM Membership and Wellbeing unit via [email protected] or +61 3 8679 8860.

The College has a Trainee Support Unit, with three staff members who can provide advice to FACEM Trainees who are concerned about their progression in training as a result of particular circumstances.

You can contact the Trainee Support Unit via [email protected] or +61 3 9790 0444 or refer to the Trainee Support page.

It is appreciated that the nature of your work and education commitments as doctors in emergency medicine can often be difficult to balance while maintaining a personal quality of life.

ACEM has partnered with an experienced EAP provider offering services to members and trainees to support your wellbeing. Counselling services offer support to you for professional, educational or personal matters.

Access EAP services.

The ACEM Wellbeing Network is an online space where you can source information, resources and initiatives that support you as emergency medicine doctors both at and away from work. You can create ‘virtual’ discussions, discover wellbeing events and campaigns, request an EM mentor and obtain insight into what your colleagues are doing to support themselves and each other within the ED and beyond.
