What ANZICS does

ANZICS (Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society) is a non-profit professional medical society founded in 1975 and headquartered in Prahran, Victoria, Australia, serving intensive care practitioners across Australia and New Zealand. The society's core function is to advance intensive care practice through research, professional education, advocacy, and clinical quality improvement. Its product portfolio centers on the ANZICS CORE Datasets platform, which aggregates five national clinical registries: the Adult Patient Database (APD), the Australian and New Zealand Paediatric Intensive Care Registry (ANZPICR), the CLABSI infection registry, the Critical Care Resources (CCR) survey, and the ECMO registry. Supporting tools include the COMET data collection software, the CORE Portal benchmark reporting system, and online severity score and risk-of-death calculators. Research activity is conducted through the ANZICS Clinical Trials Group (CTG) and several interest groups spanning paediatric, allied health, emerging researchers, and research coordinators.

The society's business model is built on recurring membership fees from intensive care professionals, supplemented by conference and event revenue (including the annual Intensive Care ASM and the Safety & Quality Conference), regional events, webinars, and registry participation. ANZICS operates on a community-led go-to-market model, acquiring members through professional education, advocacy, and industry events, with marketing executed primarily through its website, membership portal, webinar series, and educational content. Customer segments include intensive care specialists, registrars, and junior doctors (primary), hospital ICUs and related departments (primary), and ICU nurses and allied health professionals (secondary). Distribution is direct via the ANZICS website and in-person regional engagement across Australia and New Zealand. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and operates without disclosed external investors, parent companies, or acquisitions, consistent with its non-profit professional society status.

Direct peers

• World Federation of Pediatric Intensive & Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS): Global paediatric intensive care federation — explicitly partnering with ANZICS for the 2026 Intensive Care ASM and connected through ANZPICR. A direct peer in paediatric critical care society activity.
• Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM): The largest US/ international critical care professional society, operating ICU registries, guidelines, research, and education — directly comparable to ANZICS across every function (registries, CTG-equivalent research, conferences, membership).
• European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM): European professional society for intensive care, running registries, clinical trials (e.g., large multi-centre trials), congress, and education — the closest functional analogue to ANZICS outside the ANZ region.
• Intensive Care Society (UK): The UK national intensive care professional society, delivering training, guidelines, and advocacy for ICU clinicians — directly comparable in scope and mission to ANZICS at a national level.

Regional players

• Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA): Pan-ANZ medical college for anaesthesia and related specialties including intensive care, with overlapping professional society functions (training, fellowships, education) for the same regional clinician population.
• Canadian Critical Care Society (CCCS): Canadian national society for critical care with research, education, and advocacy functions — a functional and structural peer to ANZICS at a country level.
• Brazilian Association of Intensive Care Medicine (AMIB): Brazilian intensive care professional society running registries, guidelines, training, and congress — another comparable national critical care society in a large market.
• Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM): National Indian intensive care professional society operating registries, conferences, and education — directly analogous to ANZICS’s role but serving India rather than ANZ.

Others

• Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA): Australia’s broader health-system advocacy and policy body — adjacent rather than directly competing; relevant as an ecosystem peer in healthcare advocacy, policy, and quality across the same ANZ region.
