Tasmanian activities

RACS Tasmania could not conduct events without the support of our sponsors. 

The Tasmanian State Committee receives significant support from our industry partners, particularly our long-term partners Bongiorno Group, Avant, Solventum, and Hobart, Launceston, and North West Pathology.
