The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) is a company limited by guarantee.

 

The Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists was incorporated on 28 October 1963 by The Australasian Association of Psychiatrists (founded in October 1946).  The College was granted the prefix Royal on 9 May 1977 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1996.

 

The RANZCP is governed by its General Council, a democratically-elected Board of Directors which oversees a wide range of issues concerning the affairs and activities of the College, and is its supreme policy-making body.

 

The College comprises Branches in each State and Territory of Australia, and New Zealand. Its governance structure also includes Boards, Faculties, Sections and Special Interest Groups. All Fellows of the College may seek to change policy or to initiate new policy through the State, Territory and National Branches, Boards, Committees, Faculties and Sections of the College.
