Committees
Resuscitation Australia has a variety of Committees that help with training, education, assessment, research and much more. Resuscitation Australia encourages registered health providers to become involved in its activities, including through working groups and advisory committees. Subject matter experts volunteer to serve on our Committees, sharing knowledge, best-practice and shaping Resuscitation Australia’s priority areas and these Committee members are appointed for a two-year term.
Opportunities are advertised through the Resuscitation Australia newsletter. Committee meetings are arranged in consultation with participants and generally held by teleconference or webinar.
The Clinical Application Committee ensures the clinical accuracy and compliance of Resuscitation Australia’s Advanced Life Support (ALS) training programs. Meeting once each quarter, it oversees alignment with ILCOR and ANZCOR Guidelines and NSQHS Standards, ensuring best-practice resuscitation education. The committee reviews training materials, monitors effectiveness, and recommends updates based on emerging clinical evidence. Members include medical and clinical professionals specialising in resuscitation, compliance, and education.
