About the Show
Since its inception in 1983, the TSANZSRS Annual Scientific Meeting has been a cornerstone for collaboration in respiratory health, lung science, and thoracic medicine across Australia and New Zealand. Each year, it brings together leading clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share insights, showcase research, and advance conversations that shape the future of respiratory care.
For 2026, the program will spotlight two vital themes: Lungs Under the Microscope (Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand) and Breathing Through the Ages: From Infancy to Late Adulthood (Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science). With a mix of scientific sessions, networking opportunities, and an engaging exhibition, the meeting offers a collaborative platform to deepen understanding, explore new approaches, and strengthen connections within the respiratory community.
