RACS Surgical Workforce Census Report 2022

The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) have now released their 2022 Surgical Workforce Census Report.

This is a biennial survey on workforce participation and practices. All active and retired Fellows who live in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are invited to participate in the Census. The 2022 Census achieved a 24% participation rate.

The results help RACS to better understand the work patterns of Fellows throughout their careers. Key data collected includes work patterns (employment status, hours worked, private/ public mix), characteristics of the rural and regional workforce, wellbeing and future work intentions, including retirement.
