Help shape the future of sepsis research in Australia

Every 20 minutes, an Australian is admitted to ICU with sepsis. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that affects 55,000 Australians each year, leading to 8,700 deaths – that’s 3 times more than common cancers and 4 times more than road trauma.

The National Critical Care Research (NCCR) Collaboration is undertaking a new consultation – Shaping Sepsis Care, bringing together patients, carers and healthcare professionals to identify the most important unanswered research questions about sepsis.

The consultation will use surveys to determine a ‘top 10’ list of key research priorities in sepsis care and inform the development of the Australian Sepsis Research Roadmap – a guide for researchers and funders to focus on the most impactful studies.

Healthy North Coast is proud to support this initiative, to ensure a broad range of perspectives are heard.

• Adults who have been diagnosed with sepsis
• Family members or carers of someone who has had sepsis
• Healthcare professionals with experience in sepsis care

• Take the short, anonymous survey before 30 August 2025
• Provide your email address if you want to learn about the second survey where you can rank the top sepsis research priorities.

Every response brings us one step closer to better treatments, improved care, and more lives saved.

Take the survey.
