Summary

Expressions of interest are now open for Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AFOEM) Fellows to join the Faculty Assessment Committee (FAC) as a New Fellow Representative.

Description

Represent AFOEM new Fellows as a Member – New Fellow Representative and earn CPD points while making a difference to trainees’ experience.

The Committee supervises the coordination of the development, preparation and measurement of examinations within the faculty. The Committee also plays a key role in supporting trainee assessment, recommending policy and program changes to the Faculty Training Program Committee (TPC) and the College Education Committee (CEC).

To be a successful applicant, you must have:

  • Unconditional AHPRA or MCNZ registration as an Occupational & Environmental Medicine Physician

Key responsibilities

  • Attend FAC meetings, providing updates pertaining to the new fellow portfolio and matters relating to new Fellows. Preparing agenda items and consulting with members (as needed).

    • providing input for out-of-session FAC decisions (i.e. Circular Resolutions)

The Committee typically meets 3 times a year. However, due to a high volume of activity within the faculty at present, the Committee will meet 4 more times in 2026: 3 videoconference meetings and 1 in-person meeting.

The New Fellow is a person who received fellowship within the last 5 years and can only be a one-term member. If a membership vacancy exists at the end of that term, the individual may have the opportunity to remain as a member.

Our commitment to inclusivity

The RACP is committed to inclusive and respectful committee environments, and to ensuring its governance structures reflect the breadth of perspectives across its membership and the communities it serves.
When assessing expressions of interest, the College considers skills and experience alongside the perspectives and lived experience applicants may bring. Any information shared is voluntary and will be treated respectfully.

The RACP recognises Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand, and acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Indigenous peoples of Australia and Pacific peoples as recognised within the Indigenous Strategic Framework.

Consistent with the RACP Constitution and the Indigenous Strategic Framework, and informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the College is committed to upholding Indigenous leadership, the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and ensuring cultural safety across committee environments.

This is not positioned as a subset of diversity, but reflects distinct status, leadership, rights, and contribution
