Hosted at the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Hobart, ANZLAA 2025 will showcase the unparalleled ingenuity of the Australian & New Zealand laboratory animal scientific community. This year, our focus is to showcase diversity in our industry, the importance of animal welfare and how this can influence reliable science. Our attendees consist of Animal Technicians, Facility Managers, Veterinarians, Compliance and Safety teams, Architects and many more fields. Together we come together as a community to share, challenge and learn for a small window of in person talks, discussions and workshops.
