Becoming a College Officer
With College Officer roles typically lasting three years, we’re regularly looking for passionate members who are ready to take their next step in College involvement. By volunteering a few hours of their time each month, Officers share their professional expertise to help improve the lives of paediatricians and child health. In return, we offer our Officers full training, ongoing support and skill development opportunities in leadership, governance and strategic influence.
