Invasive Species Queensland (formerly the Weed Society of Queensland) is excited to collaborate with the Council of Australasian Weed Societies (CAWS) in hosting the 23rd Australasian Weeds Conference (AWC). Join us from August 25 to 29, 2024 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre for this significant national event.

Weeds continue to impact biodiversity, agriculture, and public spaces, posing challenges to productivity and land use. The 23rd AWC provides a platform to unite, share ideas, and explore effective weed management strategies.  We extend a warm invitation to all involved in weed research, policy and extension to join us and contribute to this vital discussion.

The members of Invasive Species Queensland (ISQ) share a common interest in weeds and pest animals and their management. Previously called the Weed Society of Queensland (WSQ), the Society was formed in 1975 with the aim of advancing the understanding and practice of weed management. In recent years the society expanded its scope to include pest animals and the WSQ was renamed Invasive Species Queensland in 2022.  ISQ is one of the seven member societies of the Council of Australasian Weed Science Societies (CAWS) and its members are from diverse backgrounds: practitioners to policy people; landholders to scientists.
