BreastSurgANZ Information

Welcome to BreastSurgANZ Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand Incorporated (BreastSurgANZ) is the primary group of surgeons treating patients with breast disease, benign and malignant, in Australia and New Zealand. The care provided by our members is totally patient centred. The Society is committed to improving patient care through teaching, research, and the development of evidence-based strategies. Individual members' surgical performance and outcomes is continuously monitored through assessment via the BreastSurgANZ Quality Audit (formerly the National Breast Cancer Audit.) Members of BreastSurgANZ are responsible for the quality assured management of more almost all of the 2,500 new patients in New Zealand and 12,000 of the 14,000 new patients in Australia in whom breast cancer is diagnosed per year. Our members also fill the surgical roles of Breast Screen Aotearoa and Breast Screen Australia. Every member of BreastSurgANZ is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, upholding the ideals, tradition and the pursuit of excellence embodied by this College. BreastSurgANZ surgeons are actively involved in curriculum development in breast surgical training, and in the hands-on training of breast surgeon aspirants. BreastSurgANZ members are highly dedicated professional men and women who strive for the best standard of patient care and management of breast disease possible. BreastSurgANZ was formed for the support of surgeons whose primary goal is to improve their patients care through education, research and quality assurance.
