New South Wales Branch

Welcome to the NSW Branch of the RACI. Our committee collaborates on a monthly basis to establish regular activities and events for our local members and the wider community.

Our groups

 

We have established a number of specialist interest groups within our Branch. Each one encourages networking and events between members who have a particular area of interest, and to engage with the wider chemistry community to participate. We'd love you to be involved.

These groups comprise:
