Meeting the needs of Laboratory Technical staff for over 20 years
LTAV Inc. is the professional association for all laboratory technicians in schools and tertiary institutions in Victoria. Registered in 2007 as an incorporated body, the association aims to provide support and professional development in many different ways.
LTAV provides a forum whereby we can exchange ideas, find out about new developments in industry and education, learn new skills and solve practical problems. We meet in regional groups several times a year and annually at our statewide conference “LABCON” in November.
Information and news are publicised through LTAV’s journal “Lablines”. Click on the link above to see recent issues.
