  • Facilitating research, especially collaborative initiatives
  • Promoting the development of systems to monitor outcomes of radiotherapy management.
  • Promoting and coordinating educational programmes related to improving patient care
  • Serving as a recognised radiation oncology reference group to advise Government and other bodies.

Meetings

Meetings are held at least twice a year. The executive members meet by teleconference at least once a year and a general membership meeting is held at the time of the Annual Scientific Meeting of the College.

How to become involved

Membership is open to all Fellows of the College who are involved in management of urologic malignancies. The list of members above is updated regularly and members are encouraged to register their interest by contacting Dr Keen-Hun Tai or any member of the executive. A general call for expressions of interest is circulated with the College Newsletter. A multi-disciplinary approach to management results in close collaboration with our radiology colleagues within the college and indeed surgical and medical oncology colleagues. Members are encouraged to be associates of the Urological Society of Australasia.
