he Australian Forensic Science Society
was formed in 1971 with the aim of
bringing together scientists, police,
criminalists, pathologists, and members
of the legal profession actively
involved with the forensic sciences. The
Society’s objectives are to enhance
the quality of Forensic Science
providing both formal and informal
lectures, discussions and demonstrations
encompassing the various disciplines
within the science.
It was decided in 1988 that the
Australian Forensic Society should
recognise its New Zealand members and
changed its name to the Australian and
New Zealand Forensic Science Society
(ANZFSS).
