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.
The Metrology Society of Australasia
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.

Our Values
Promote
To promote the value of metrology within government, business and the general community.
Involve
To bring together people with a common interest or involvement in metrology.
Community
To provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience.
Recognise
To raise the professional status of metrologists and provide formal recognition for qualifications and expertise.
Engage
To engage in and promote the advancement of knowledge in metrology. Our most intensive way to achieve these aims is to hold a major conference biennially.
Unite

The History of the MSA
The MSA has a rich and storied history, thoughtfully documented in the PDF below. As this remains a work in progress, we welcome contributions to help shape and expand our historical record. If you would like to be part of this ongoing effort, please contact us.
Our Key Personnel
People from all fields of measurement in Australia, New Zealand and overseas have joined the MSA since its inception in 1993. Due to an active participation from New Zealand, in 2014, the society changed its name from the Metrology Society of Australia to the Metrology Society of Australasia. MSA members are drawn from a diverse range of backgrounds and expertise and work in organizations such as industrial calibration and testing laboratories, government national measurement institutes, and academia such as universities and colleges.

Your Measurement Infrastructure
Accurate measurement underpins economic growth and confidence. There is an infrastructure of autonomous national and international organisations, all with specific and separate responsibilities, and all cooperating to ensure a coherent system of measurement exists. Globally recognised, this infrastructure supports technological advancement and maintains human safety in all areas of our lives. From the stewardship of the International System of Units (BIPM), the National Metrology Institutes, standards and conformance bodies, to the calibration laboratories, all form part of this very crucial measurement infrastructure.
In particular, we recognise the significant impact that Australasia’s key measurement infrastructure stakeholders have on metrology in the region and on the ongoing role of the MSA.
