The Steering Committee usually meets four times each year, with two of these meetings being face to face. The face to face meetings are held in near Sydney or Melbourne Airports, with the other meetings held by video/teleconference. Additional work outside of meetings is sometimes required, reviewing documents and coordinating the assistance of people who can aid with guideline development. Members of the Steering Committee are expected to assume responsibility for the work involved and serve a 3-year term. There is no remuneration for the role, but CARI Guidelines covers expenses involved in attending meetings. All Steering Committee Members must sign a Conflict of Interest document.
There are currently 12 Steering Committee Members, including the Chair. The Steering Committee includes representatives from Australia and New Zealand with backgrounds in nephrology and renal nursing.
Steering Committee Members should have an interest in evidence-based medicine, be supportive of guideline development and ideally, bring skills to the Committee that will assist in CARI Guidelines achieving its goals. CARI Guidelines is committed to geographical representation and gender inclusiveness.
Please direct enquiries about these positions, or expressions of interest, in the form of a cover letter and an abbreviated CV (no more than 2-pages) to Dr David Tunnicliffe, Scientific Director, CARI Guidelines, at email: david.tunnicliffe@sydney.edu.au
