The SPANZA Executive Committee is now inviting nominations for upcoming Executive positions. Executive members serve a three‑year term, after which they may seek renomination. When any Executive position becomes vacant or is due for renomination, we welcome expressions of interest from SPANZA members who would like to contribute to the leadership of our organisation.

About the Executive Committee Role: Serving on the Executive Committee offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to the direction and development of paediatric anaesthesia across Australia and New Zealand.
Term Length: Three years per term, with a maximum of four terms (12 years).

Meeting schedule: Virtual Executive meetings are held every four weeks on Tuesday evenings at 6:00pm AEST/AEDT and generally run no longer than two hours (though occasionally may extend).

Subcommittee involvement: Executive members may also be invited to serve as representatives on one of the SPANZA Subcommittee's.

Experience: Participation is highly rewarding, offering insight, professional growth, and a chance to contribute during an exciting period of development and change within SPANZA.

You can view the current Executive Committee members on our website.

SPANZA is committed to fostering a diverse and representative Executive, reflecting the breadth of the paediatric anaesthesia community across Australia and New Zealand.
