College Policy and Advocacy Council
The College Policy and Advocacy Council (CPAC) is a peak decision-making and strategic planning body. The CPAC is made up of 31 members, including members of the CPAC Executive Committee.
The CPAC Executive Committee meet between Council meetings to make decisions that require quick action. The Committee has up to 11-members, including the Chair and Deputy Chair of CPAC.
The Chair is appointed from Board membership, the Deputy Chair and members are appointed through a merits based selection process.
The CPAC and CPAC Executive Committee were established to:
- consult with all College bodies involved with policy and advocacy matters to establish the key policy priorities and activities for the whole College for approval by the College Board, in a manner that aligns the needs of members and the community
- communicate the approved policy and advocacy priorities across the College in line with the approved priorities
- consult with Specialty Societies and other external bodies on policy and advocacy matters and priorities where appropriate, to maximise effective outcomes
- work with all College bodies on policy and advocacy positions and activities, including working with the College Education Committee on policy and advocacy matters relevant to education and training
- respond in a timely manner to emerging policy and advocacy issues that are relevant to College members and the community
- promote the role of the College, Fellows and trainees.
