Member benefits

Your FRACS post-nominal sends a reassuring message to your patients that they are being cared for by a surgeon who has attained the highest standards in their profession and is committed to lifelong learning and surgical care by participating in RACS’ Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program.

Being a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) signifies a thorough evaluation of a surgeon's education, training, qualifications, surgical proficiency, ethics, and compliance with stringent standards set by regulators, health departments, and the community.

Maintaining the FRACS post nominal requires current membership with the College, as this reflects the ongoing alignment with the standards established by the College.
