Interested in advocacy and governance? 

Be a voice for surgery at RACS. 

Nominate yourself for election to vacant positions in your relevant state or territory committees and the Aotearoa New Zealand National Committee. 

Nominations open on Friday 27 February 2026 and close on Monday 16 March 2026.

If your STAANZ committee has vacant positions available, you will receive an email on Friday 27 February with a link, which will enable you to complete your nomination form. You will need two other Fellows to support your nomination. 

If you do not wish to nominate yourself, you can still get involved by voting for your colleagues who do. If there are a surplus of nominations to available positions, voting in your relevant electorate will open on Friday 20 March 2026 and close on Monday 13 April 2026.

*Please note you must be a current RACS Fellow to nominate and your supporters must also be current RACS Fellows.
