The Committee achieves its objectives by providing recommendations to the ACEM Board in relation to matters that involve changes to the College’s policies, processes and/or activities as well as by providing advice and guidance to other ACEM’s entities.

EOIs and/or nominations that reflect the diversity of the ACEM membership are encouraged. Where applicable, appointments will be made to ensure diversity is reflected in the Committee’s membership.

Key responsibilities:

• To drive the projects that have arisen from ACEM’s Discrimination, Bullying and Sexual Harassment Action Plan.

• To provide leadership in promoting and embedding a culture of zero tolerance throughout ACEM as an organisation, its membership and the broader practice of emergency medicine. 
• To monitor ACEM’s initiatives that support the wellbeing of trainees and Fellows. 

Meetings:

Members will be appointed to the Committee for a period of two years after which there will be a full spill and ‘ordinary’ FACEM, trainee and other member positions will become vacant.
