The Royal Societies of Australia is delighted to welcome the Royal Society of Tasmania to Membership of the organisation. The Council of the RSA approved its Membership at its meeting on 14 October 2024. At that meeting the President of the RST, Associate Professor Julie Rimes, was appointed to the RSA Council. The RST now intends to make a contribution to the RSA’s national projects, bringing a Tasmanian perspective to this important work.
