Australasia

The Australasian Section is one of the IRSE's largest and most established. It is responsible for both Australia and New Zealand. 

The Australian Section was formed in November 1947 and then renamed Australasian Section in April 1989 to include New Zealand.

Full details about the Australasian Section can be found on the Australasian Section website, including information about upcoming national and local meetings. As well as holding three national technical meetings every year, each state in Australia also runs its own programme of "local" meetings, to which all are welcome.
