The Board established the College Council in 2015 to act as its peak advisory body on strategic and cross-College issues.

The College Council responds to issues the Board refers to it and raises issues to the Board that the College Council feels need consideration.

The composition of the College Council enables a variety of member and non-member perspectives to be heard in a single forum.

The Council is a representative body of up to 47 Fellows and trainees that includes:

• a Fellow appointed by the Aotearoa New Zealand Committee
• a representative from each of the 26 identified Education Pathways (including Chapters) within the College
• a Fellow appointed by each RACP Division Council
• a Fellow appointed by each RACP Faculty Council
• up to 4 trainees appointed by the College Trainees’ Committee
• a Fellow appointed by each of the 7 Australian Regional Committees
• a Māori representative and an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander representative, who may be Fellows, trainees or non-members of the RACP
• a consumer representative from the RACP appointed Consumer Advisory Group or an approved delegate
• the Chair of the College Education Committee
