Invitation to Attend

On behalf of the ANZFSS Tasmania Branch, we are delighted to invite colleagues from across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond to join us in Hobart for the 28th Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society Symposium.

Our 2027 theme,
Capture to Code: Art. Science. Intelligence.
reflects the full continuum of contemporary forensic practice, from the careful capture of evidence, through rigorous scientific analysis, to the interpretation of complex data in an increasingly digital world. Set against the stunning backdrop of Hobart, the Symposium will showcase innovation, foster collaboration, and celebrate the expertise that defines our profession.
Dr Damian Crowle
President, ANZFSS Tasmania Branch
