AChPM Committee

The Australasian Chapter of Palliative Medicine (AChPM) supports the professional careers of all Fellows and trainees of the Chapter. Alongside other relevant College Bodies and staff, the AChPM works on these aspects as they relate to palliative medicine:

  • education, training and assessment of trainees
  • education, continuing professional development and quality performance of Fellows
  • policy and advocacy
  • the assessment of overseas trained professionals
  • research
  • workforce

The AChPM Committee is the peak decision-making body for the Chapter, promoting and advancing the body of knowledge of palliative medicine within the College.
