Australian Capital Territory Branch
The ANZFSS ACT Branch Inc represents the academic and forensic science interests of its members. Being based in Australia’s capital city, home to the headquarters of most federal agencies employing Forensic Scientists, the ACT Branch is uniquely positioned to reflect on the application of the forensic sciences in the Australian government, and current research supporting national policy.
The ACT Branch brings together scientists, police, criminalists, pathologists, biometric experts, academics and members of the legal profession actively involved in the forensic sciences.
With experience and enthusiasm, the ACT Branch Committee strive to showcase early-career researchers, host regular branch meetings and visits to places of forensic interest, facilitate presentations by experts on local and national cases of interest, and engage with members to offer networking opportunities and boost professional development.
Membership is invited from all persons with bona fide interests in forensic science and members are required to adhere to a Code of Professional Practice.
