Royal
Australasian College of Surgeons
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons is responsible for maintaining high
standards of training and assessment for all Australian surgeons. Accredited
surgeons are permitted to use the abbreviation FRACS after their name and are
required by the College to show evidence of continuing education and submit practice
audits annually.
Australian Orthopaedic Association
The Australian Orthopaedic Association administers training in
orthopaedic surgery and continuing orthopaedic education, in
close liaison
with the College of Surgeons. It also requires evidence of such
activity on a triennial basis. The Association fosters scientific
activity through grants and meetings at national and statewide
levels. The website describes Association activities and has
useful links to other orthopaedic sites. Prince
