Consultation: Anaesthetic technicians and safe sedation standard

Anaesthetic technicians (ATs) play a critical role in supporting sedation procedures across a variety of clinical environments. The Council has reviewed the standard for ATs involved in sedation following the development of the updated scope of practice and competence standards (2025) and is consulting on the proposed sedation standard to receive feedback from the profession and stakeholders.

Please read the consultation document and draft standard on our website and provide your feedback by 5pm on Wednesday 3 December 2025.
