The Australian & New Zealand Society of Palliative Medicine (ANZSPM) is a specialty medical society for medical practitioners who provide care for people with a life limiting illness. Our members include palliative medicine specialists, #palliative medicine training registrars and other doctors such as general practitioners, oncologists, haematologists, intensivists, psychiatrists and geriatricians. ANZSPM was officially incorporated in October 1994, following an inaugural meeting of doctors practicing palliative medicine in September 1992 and initial general meeting as a Society in October 1993. Our purpose is to improve health outcomes for every person with a life limiting illness living in Australia and New Zealand. ANZSPM facilitates professional development and support for its members, promotes the practice of Palliative Medicine and advocates for those who work in the field of palliative medicine. ANZSPM’s activities aim to improve the quality of care for people with a life limiting illness.
