Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Critical Care (DoCC) within the Melbourne Medical School.
The DoCC is one of the few University departments anywhere in the world that embraces all three critical care specialties: anaesthesia, emergency medicine, and intensive care medicine.
Our Department collaborates across academic, political, government, and community sectors including nurses, allied health practitioners, scientists, leaders, and of course patients and the broader public. Through research, education, engagement, and direct clinical care, the DoCC improves individual patient journeys, public health, cost effectiveness, and workforce well-being.
