Welcome to the Adelaide University Surgical Society (AUSS)!

Are you fascinated by the world of surgery or curious to see if it’s the path for you? Whether you’re eager to sharpen your skills or have aspirations to become one of Australia’s future surgical leaders, AUSS is here to support and inspire your journey.

Our mission is to provide students with opportunities to explore the exciting and ever-evolving field of surgery. We aim to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and networks to thrive. Throughout the year, we host a variety of engaging events, including:

  • Practical Skills Workshops: Develop your surgical techniques with hands-on sessions tailored to all skill levels.
  • Specialty Information Nights: Learn from accomplished surgeons across a range of specialties and gain insight into their careers.
  • Research Workshops and Presentation Nights: Develop essential research skills—from study design to data analysis—and showcase your work or clinical interests to peers and professionals
  • Anatomy Nights: Hands-on, wet-lab (cadaveric) anatomical sessions run by clinical surgeons, offering an invaluable opportunity to deepen your understanding of human anatomy in a surgical context.

At AUSS, we also focus on:

  • Global Surgery – Hear from inspiring leaders working in trauma, humanitarian, and under-resourced settings
  • Women in Surgery – Promoting mentorship, representation, and empowerment in surgical careers

We’re excited to meet you! Follow us on social media to stay updated on upcoming events and opportunities:
