INVITATION

Brent Le Vert President, ARPS

The ARPS Organising Committee warmly invites you to attend the 2026 Annual Conference of the Australasian Radiation Protection Society, taking place from Sunday 20 to Thursday 24 September 2026 at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are pleased to host this flagship event in Aotearoa New Zealand for the third time.

Since its establishment in 1975, ARPS has evolved into a respected professional association representing more than 250 specialists committed to promoting best practice in the management and safe application of both ionising and non-ionising radiation. Our members contribute across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, research, industry, and mining.

The 2026 conference theme, “From Rutherford to Tomorrow: Kaitiakitanga in Radiation Protection”, recognises the foundations of our discipline while embracing the responsibilities and opportunities that lie ahead. It highlights stewardship, innovation, and the shared obligation to protect people and the environment as the field continues to advance.

The conference program will focus on:

Building capability and supporting emerging professionals
Presenting advances in technology, research, and practical application
Encouraging cooperation and dialogue among practitioners, regulators, and stakeholders

ARPS 2026 will deliver a carefully developed program aimed at stimulating informed debate, strengthening professional relationships, and exploring future directions in radiation protection.

Delegates at all stages of their careers will benefit from opportunities to:

Connect with recognised leaders and experts in the field
Participate in discussions with influential contributors from across the radiation protection community

We invite you to join us in Christchurch for what promises to be an outstanding conference experience. Register early to secure your place and be part of ARPS 2026.

We look forward to welcoming you to New Zealand in September 2026.
