The Metrology Society of Australasia

The MSA is an association of professional metrologists including but not limited to; engineers, physicists, scientists, technicians and measurement experts throughout Australasia and further afield. Our members measure, evaluate, calibrate, maintain, educate, train, design, sell, invent and develop measurement technologies and research the ‘science and art’ of metrology. The Society hosts a biennial conference, and holds talks and social events to encourage the professional development of its members, and to promote the practice and interests of good measurement practice.

Our Impact

The society supports its members through an internationally recognized conference every two years. We have active local groups that allow members to get together on a regular basis, to discuss current issues in metrology and to expose the members to new technologies and methodologies. The MSA emails out regular newsletters and is affiliated with relevant bodies both internationally and domestically. The society also represents the interests of its members in policy fora and actively promotes training of metrologists, including being a key developer of a graduate course in measurement science.

This diversity allows members to meet and interact with a wide range of people, including electrical metrologists working in the power industry, dimensional metrologists running large laboratories or just one person laboratories, research scientists of international standing, mechanical metrologists from the automotive industry, chemical metrologists working in the pharmaceutical industry, medical scientists, testing officers working in quality control laboratories and flow measurement experts from the petroleum industry.
