Sad day for ICU globally. Rinaldo was an amazing researcher, mentor and friend to so manyof us.
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is with overwhelmingย sadness that we share news of the death of our colleague, mentor and friend, Rinaldo Bellomo. During recent days, both he and his familyย haveย received dedicated, expert and compassionateย care from some of the finest in our ICU ir pain and sense of loss.
Over several decades, Rinaldo has madeย a profound and enduring impact on ICU practice in Australia, New Zealand and around the world. As a passionate researcher he challenged conventions, championed evidence-based practice in the care of the critically ill and supported countless colleagues in their research careers. As a compassionate mentor, colleague and friend, heย touched and enriched numerous lives, and will beย greatlyย missed. His loss willย affect our whole community and inย due course there will be opportunities to come together toย celebrate his life.
This will be a difficult time for many, but we know thatย our memories ofย Rinaldoโs relentless enthusiasm, warmth, optimism and boundless energy will help us all through the weeks ahead. In lieu of flowers, Rinaldo's family would welcome donations to support his research legacy at โฆlth-community-fundraising.raisely.com/inmem-rinaldo-โฆ
Our sincere condolences and best wishes go out to his family, friends and colleagues.
Craig Carr, on behalf of the ANZICS community

Do you know what the ANZICS logo represents?
Officially chosen in 1984, the snake symbolizes Asclepiosโthe ancient Greek God of Medicine, the Southern Cross celebrates our bi-national Society, and the canopy symbolizes the ute to pioneering advances in mechanical ventilation and pulmonary care.

The first examination for Intensive Care in the world was held by the Faculty of Anaesthetists in October 1979. The Chairman of the examination was Dr G.A. (Don) Harrison of Sydney. Later in 1989, Harrison was awarded the vices to anaesthetics and intensive care.
โIโd like to be looked upon as someone who improved patient outcomes through teaching and education, I want my epitaph to read: He taught.โ
The ANZICS Liaison Committee starts important work on preparing the content of knowledge and skills necessary for an Intensive Care Specialist for presentation to the Faculty of Anaesthetists, RACS and the RACP.

2025 marks the 50th birthday of ANZICS. Over the next 50 days, we will countdown to the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting and pay homage to the people and events that helped shape our history and contribute to the advancement of intensive care practice.
For many years, ANZICS was body for practicing intensivists in AUS & NZ.
While there have been challenging times, without the fortitude and resilience of our pioneering members, we would not have the world class standard of intensive care services we have today.
