The Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA) exists to promote and protect the status, independence and best interests of Australian anaesthetists.

 

The Harry Daly Museum
       
   

Our aim

Our museum is devoted to the preservation, documentation and interpretation of the history of anaesthetic practice. Cabinet displays and open-storage drawers give you an insight into the fascinating history of this important medical specialty. Our exhibits illustrate the development of anaesthesia from the first successful medical anaesthetic administration in 1846, through improvisations in WWI to the myriad technological advancements that followed.

 

The museum aims to encourage interest in the local and global history of anaesthesia and highlights uniquely Australian advancements and innovative individuals who helped to shape modern anaesthesia. Find out about significant events with our Anaesthesia History Timeline.
