The governance structure of ACEM is comprised of a range of member-led entities that drive the activities of the College. These entities work to ensure clinical, professional, and training standards in the provision of quality, evidence-based, patient-centred emergency care.
 
Committees play a vital role in this by leading and supporting health system advocacy, and enhancing the ability of the organisation to meet the needs of its members and health systems across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
 
ACEM is committed to fostering and promoting the principles of diversity and inclusion among its members and trainees, and as part of the Governance and Leadership Inclusion Action Plan, the CEP was established.
 
How it works:

  1. Apply to experience up to three committees.
  2. Depending on availability, you will be invited to take part as a non-voting member when the selected committee next meets (committees meet three times per year).
  3. After experiencing the committee, you can express your interest in becoming a committee member.
  4. When the committees next spill, you will be considered to fill one of the available committee positions.

The expressions of intertest round for the Committee Experience Program in 2024 has now closed. Communications to follow about the 2025 round.
