The ANZSGM is committed to developing policy and practice relevant to geriatric medicine. This includes Position Statements on specific geriatric issues which have been approved by the ANZSGM Council.

All of the ANZSGM position statements have been developed through the expertise of our Policy and Planning Committee. A guideline for the authoring of ANZSGM position statements is available for further information.

If you are interested in joining the committee or would like to propose the development of a position statement, please email the Committee at admin@anzsgm.org.

The current position statements of the ANZSGM are listed below. Additional resources and information can also be sourced via our Resource Library.
