2025 ISMRT Australian & New Zealand Chapters Joint Meeting
15-16 November 2025
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Australia
We are delighted to invite you to join us in Brisbane, Queensland for the 18th ISMRT Australian and New Zealand Chapters Joint meeting, to be held on the 15 and 16 November 2025 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. We have just hosted a very successful meeting in Brisbane with world class speakers and local experts in the field. It was a wonderful opportunity to catch up with our MRI friends and colleagues.
Preparation is in full swing, as the program committee commence discussions on bringing expert speakers in the MR field to Brisbane, to provide presentations on useful scanning techniques and future applications. There will be opportunities to engage with our sponsors and network with your MRI colleagues during the meeting and we will again be hosting a Gala Event on Saturday evening.
We look forward to seeing you all in Brisbane in November 2025

About Us
The International Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (ISMRT), A Section of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) is the leading non-profit organisation that provides an international forum for education, information and research in magnetic resonance for radiographers and technologists throughout the world.
The ISMRT was established by technologists, clinicians and scientists of the ISMRM as a forum for radiographers and MR technologists to share their expertise and educational resources, with a common goal of improving healthcare for people worldwide.
As an organisation, we are committed to promoting education, communication and the dissemination of cutting-edge MR developments. The objective of the ISMRT is to advance education and training, while striving to promote a high level of knowledge and professionalism in the field of MR radiography and technology.
ISMRT ANZ
The ISMRT ANZ Chapter has now formally split into two new chapters, The Australian National Chapter (ISMRT ANC) and the New Zealand National Chapter (ISMRT NZNC). These new separate Australian and New Zealand Chapters will replace the current ANZ Chapter.
The ISMRT ANZ Chapter Board believes that differences in professional accreditation, registration and insurance requirements between the two countries mean that both countries would benefit from autonomous National Chapters working with the support of an international society.
The relationship between the Australian and New Zealand Chapters has been and still is very strong. Both countries support each other to provide high quality education to their MRI Technologists and will continue to do so. The joint ANZ meeting usually held in November will continue to be a joint venture between the Australian and New Zealand Chapters. Both parties feel that the establishment of the separate Australian and New Zealand National Chapters demonstrates the strength of the ISMRT community in ANZ. To continue this support, the NZ National Chapter President will serve on the Australian National Chapter Board and the Australian National Chapter President will serve on the NZ National Chapter Board.
In addition to the yearly joint ANZ meeting, each chapter holds their own meetings.
