The Reference Group is seeking to appoint members with relevant skills, interest, and experience in gender equity.

The Reference Group has been established by the Fellowship Committee (FC) to assist the Gender Equity in Medicine Working Group (GEMWG) meet their objectives by:
- providing input, advice and solutions to the FC and GEMWG on Gender Equity in Medicine (GEM) issues, experiences and barriers for consideration

Context of the position and the Reference Group
The College has been serving the health of the Australian and New Zealand people for 82 years. We are a large and diverse educational institution and membership body that delivers post-graduate training and continuing professional development to over 26,000 Fellow and trainee members.
The College operates in a highly regulated context that is subject to constant change.
Health technologies are rapidly advancing, and more and more physicians are working as part of multi-disciplinary teams often in community as well as hospital settings. These trends will only increase as the health system continues to respond to an aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, demands for patient-centred care, and increasing funding pressures. There is also a trend for medical education requirements for trainees and the continuing professional development of the Fellowship to become broader and more rigorous.
To meet these demands the College is adapting and responding to the changing needs of our Fellows and trainees to service our communities.
The Reference Group has a role in ensuring the College continues to deliver high-quality physician education and training programs, support future health care systems, and provide health policy leadership.
