This committee will be primarily responsible for supporting the College’s role in the management of the Radiation Oncology profession and for developing policies to inform and influence governments and other decision makers about the importance of a viable and sustainable Radiation Oncology profession in Australia and New Zealand.
This committee will be responsible for developing policies to ensure that physical and human resources are explicitly recognised and considered in regard to the planning and development of existing and future facilities.
Specifically this will involve:
- Providing advice and assistance to the Faculty Board in relation to the College’s responsibilities in the areas of economics and workforce.
- Liaising with the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing and the Ministry of Health in New Zealand in regard to the availability, affordability and accessibility to Radiation Oncology services for cancer patients.
- Reviewing and analysing the economic impact of issues that affect the provision of services in Australia and New Zealand.
- Liaising with key regulatory agencies such as the Health Insurance Commission, Medicare Services Advisory Committee, Tripartite Committee, RORIC (and its NZ equivalent) and jurisdictions about new technology, service planning and workforce development.
- Providing advice to all Fellows, through the Faculty Board, in regard to government and regulatory processes.
The membership shall include:
- Convenor (Faculty Board member)
- Chair (Faculty Fellow)
- Up to four additional members (ideally membership will include a New Zealand representative and representative of the AAPROP)
The Committee will be provided with secretariat and administrative support by the Executive Office, Faculty of Radiation Oncology.
The term of office for each committee member shall be three years, with the exception of Convenors who may serve up to the maximum of their Faculty Board term. Committee members may serve no more that two consecutive terms.
The Committee will meet at least once between Faculty Board meetings with one face-to-face meeting and the balance of meetings by teleconference. Additional teleconferences will be held on an ‘as required’ basis.
A minimum of three (3) members, including at least one office bearer, will constitute a quorum.
Any recognised or potential conflicts of interest will be declared and recorded in the minutes/reports of a committee.
Disputes that cannot be satisfactorily resolved within the committee will be referred to the Dean via the Faculty secretariat.
