Australian Tactical Medical Association ATMA is a not for profit Association that represents the interests of Australians involved in the provision and development of tactical medicine across the spectrum of applications, from the general emergency services response to high threat incidents, right through to highly specialised providers in military, police and other special operations groups. Our mandate is driven by our memberships enthusiasm to continually improve and provide the highest level of first aid and medical care in austere, dangerous, remote and dynamic environments. The development of improved capability to save lives is the underlying principle of ATMA, and this is achieved through advice, advocacy, training, networking, collaboration and the annual Australian Tactical Medicine Conference. |

Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC) C-TECC was formed in 2010 to formally translate military trauma lessons learned into the civilian high threat prehospital community. The C-TECC is modelled after the highly successful Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) - frequently credited as one of the major initiatives that has resulted in the lowest combat mortality rates in recorded history. C-TECC brings together SME's from EMS, fire, law reinforcement and federal emergency bodies, as well as physicians from emergency departments, trauma centres and the military to develop evidence-based principles of high threat prehospital medicine. ATMA was proud to formalise the partnership in 2025. To find out more, visit the website of the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care - www.c-tecc.org |
