Monday, 20 May 2024About the companyThe Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) is a not for profit, membership-based organisation leading the way in surgical performance, professionalism and patient care in Australia and New Zealand.

With service to our members at the forefront of our business, we support ongoing learning and development for our surgical workforce of more than 7,000 surgeons and 1,300 surgical trainees and Specialist International Medical Graduates.

RACS is on an exciting journey to transform the way our members engage with us by making improvements across many aspects of the College - from learning and development to technology and governance.

We are focusing on collaboration and innovation to better serve our members and to enhance the contribution of surgeons to the community.

About the roleThe Queensland and Northern Territory Audits of Surgical Mortality (QASM & NTASM) review all deaths associated with surgical care.

The review process identifies areas of clinical management which can be improved.

QASM and NTASM are funded by Queensland Health and NT Health and are programs of RACS in collaboration with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RANZCOG), and the Anaesthetists (NT only).
