About us

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) is the leading organisation for training, accrediting, and representing psychiatrists across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Through conferences, publications, and initiatives, the College drives evidence-based practices, ensures high-quality, culturally aligned care, and works to enhance healthcare outcomes for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and Māori communities in alignment with reconciliation and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

About the Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and organised Accreditation Coordinator to support the College’s accreditation processes. This is a key administrative role that will see you working closely with our Accreditation Panel to ensure the smooth and effective running of accreditation activities. You will manage a variety of tasks, including:

• Coordinating accreditation activities for training programs, Formal Education Courses (FECs), and Certificates of Advanced Training.
• Preparing detailed reports for accreditation panel review and ensuring they are completed on time.
• Engaging with stakeholders and managing surveys to gather important data, including from the Medical Training Survey.
• Attending accreditation meetings both in-person and virtually.

This is an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of psychiatric education and be part of a supportive, dynamic team.

For more details, please refer to the attached Position Description.

What You'll Bring

• Experience in administration or education, ideally with knowledge of accreditation processes or higher education programs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and produce clear reports under pressure.
• Ability to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders and build strong working relationships.
• Some flexibility to travel interstate and potentially overseas for accreditation activities, as well as availability for occasional after-hours work.
• Australian or New Zealand citizenship, or the right to work in Australia.

A background in membership or nonprofit organisations is advantageous, as is a passion for improving mental healthcare. While prior experience in educational accreditation is beneficial, we also value transferable skills and welcome applicants eager to grow in this area.
