Help shape the future of sepsis research in Australia

Shaping Sepsis Care Survey 2 is now open!

Every 20 minutes an Australian is admitted to ICU with sepsis. Sepsis is a life threatening condition more than 84,000 people admitted to hospital each year. One in seven of these cases results in a hospital death. This is three times more than common cancers and four times more than road trauma.

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

Now, in Survey 2, we need your help to select the research questions that matter most to you. Your responses will help determine a Top 10 list of national research priorities, shaping the Australian Sepsis Research Roadmap — a guide for researchers and funders to focus on the studies that will make the biggest difference.

[INSERT PARTNER ORGANISATION] is proud to support this initiative, to ensure a broad range of perspectives are heard.

Who should take the survey?

  • Adults who have been diagnosed with sepsis

  • Family members or carers of someone who has had sepsis

  • Healthcare professionals with experience in sepsis care

What’s involved?

  • Complete a short, anonymous survey by 12 January 2026 to select the sepsis research questions that mean the most to you (You don’t need to have participated in Survey 1 to complete Survey 2).

Every response helps drive better treatments, improved care, and more lives saved.
