The headquarters of the College is in Sydney, Australia. Ophthalmologists who have successfully completed the training program of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists are known as Fellows of the College (FRANZCO). There are currently about 700 Fellows in Australia. ==About== In Australia and New Zealand, an ophthalmologist is required to have undertaken a minimum of 12 years of training, including: * 5–7 years at a medical school, graduating with a degree in medicine, * 2 years (minimum) as a newly qualified doctor undertaking basic medical training, * 5 years of ophthalmic specialist training and successful completion of examinations set by The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO). RANZCO is responsible for training, examining and representing medical practitioners in the specialty of ophthalmology, who upon completion of training, are equipped to undertake unsupervised ophthalmology practice. RANZCO has a vital interest in the continual improvement and development of ophthalmologists in Australia and New Zealand.
