Victoria Branch
Welcome to the Victorian Branch of the Australian New Zealand Forensic Science Society. As an integral part of the larger society, our branch serves local and visiting scientists, students, police members, pathologists, and lawyers passionate about forensic science. Dedicated to promoting knowledge exchange and collaboration, our branch provides a local platform for members to network through periodic local seminars that typically feature a speaker on a topic of interest. We aim to foster a supportive environment that promotes conversations and encourages the learning and professional development for all members. Together, we contribute to the advancement of forensic science and its crucial role in upholding justice.
Become a member, connect with like-minded individuals; we look forward to welcoming you to our community!
