The Victorian Perioperative Consultative Council (VPCC) was established as a multidisciplinary council in 2019. The VPCC membership includes experts with a surgical, anaesthetic, nursing, consumer, or other medical backgrounds, who bring their diverse experiences, expertise, perspectives and lived experience to the council's agenda and deliberations.
The VPCC operates under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (the act) (Sections 33-43) and is required to report preventable harm to the Secretary of the Department of Health. VPCC also produces other recommendations such as good practice points and an annual report each year as governed by the legislation.
The VPCC investigates and reviews cases of perioperative mortality and morbidity in Victoria to improve outcomes for patients before, during and after surgery. It also identifies improvement opportunities in perioperative care and shares these with the health sector for the benefit of patients, their families, and the wider health care community.
