The new RZS NSW website and membership database is now live (at rzsnsw.org.au).

The content and functionality has largely stayed the same, but we have taken the opportunity to better link news about the Society and items of zoological interest to the RZS NSW website.

Members can log in using their email address. 

A quick 'how to' guide on logging in, changing passwords and member profiles and accessing Australian Zoologist can be downloaded clocking the button below.
