The CTVP SIG is managed by the Anaesthesia Continuing Education (ACE) partnership, a tripartite body governed by the Australian & New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA), the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA), and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists (NZSA). ACE promotes and co-ordinates combined continuing medical education activities in anaesthesia and related disciplines. It manages 17 SIGs that allow anaesthetists and other medical specialists to study, report and develop educational events in specific areas of anaesthesia in which they have an interest or skills.  ANZCA is the secretariat for the CTVP SIG and one of the largest specialist medical colleges in Australia and New Zealand. The college is the region's foremost authority on anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative medicine.

The Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons was formed to serve the medicopolitical needs of cardiothoracic surgeons in Australia and New Zealand. It has amalgamated with the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery of the RACS. The Society plays an important role in the development of Cardiac Surgery services in Australia. The Society in conjunction with the Cardiac Society maintains the Journal, Heart Lung and Circulation.
