The Australasian Trauma Society (ATS)[1] is a medical specialist interest group for medical and paramedical individuals working in the area of traumatic injury. It was begun in 1997 by a group of health professionals from Australia and New Zealand involved in trauma care. In 2022 the ATS was renamed the Australian and New Zealand Trauma Society (ANZTS).

## Membership

Membership of the Society is open to doctors, nurses and paramedical personnel from both Australia and New Zealand. Associate membership is open to others outside of those categories.

## Activities

The ATS runs an annual scientific meeting either alone or in combination with other organisations such as the Trauma Association of Canada.[2] It also provides financial and other support for the Australasian National Trauma Registry consortium.[3]

An annual travelling fellowship is offered to a member to allow them to further their trauma care knowledge.

The medical journal Injury[4] is the journal for both the ATS and the British Trauma Society.[5]
