The Policy and Advocacy Unit provides the College with an avenue to be engaged in the broad health policy debate. It has contributed to an understanding within the College of a range of health policy issues and an understanding in Government of the views and concerns of Fellows.

The aim of the Policy and Advocacy Unit is to enable the College to influence policy development in Australia and New Zealand. This will ensure the interests of Fellows are promoted in health policy, the health systems of both countries are improved, and the health outcomes for consumers are improved.

The Policy and Advocacy Unit can be contacted at policy@racp.edu.au
