Fellowship is the highest membership category awarded in the College. It is a significant professional achievement and is awarded by the College to those individuals who have demonstrated to their peers that they have the knowledge, attitudes, conceptual and communication skills to be recognised as senior managers and leaders in the health and aged care industries. Fellowship within the ACHSM is recognised both nationally and internationally and it demonstrates an ongoing commitment to excellence in health service management.
Fellows provide leadership across the spectrum of public, private and not for profit organisations, in the areas of acute, primary and long term care, and health improvement. Fellows are engaged in the areas of tertiary education and research, policy development and government service, professional services and project management. The awarding of Fellowship to a College member recognises the commitment to research, continuing professional development and learning, and application of knowledge in health services management they demonstrate.
Following acceptance into the Fellowship Program, the expectations are that Candidates participate in Study Groups as part of the Fellowship process. The process of candidature has many benefits including:
The Fellowship examination is a peer review process designed to enable the Candidate to demonstrate their competencies about contemporary health and aged care issues. In particular, it assesses the competencies in leadership and management and focuses on the ’Candidates' communication skills to the level that the College recognises are those of a senior health and aged care and community leader and manager. The candidature and examination are designed to be practical, efficient, and cost-effective for the Candidates, examiners, and the College.
