People from all fields of measurement in Australia and overseas have joined the MSA since its inception in 1993. Our membership includes scientists, engineers and technicians working in industrial calibration and testing laboratories, government laboratories and organisations, universities and colleges.

The society supports its members through an internationally recognized conference every two years. We have active state groups that allow members to get together on a regular basis, to discuss current issues in metrology and to expose the members to new technologies and methodologies. It also produces a technical Journal, newsletters and is affiliated with relevant bodies both internationally and domestically. The society also represents the interests of its members in policy fora and actively promotes training of Metrologist, including being a key developer of a graduate course in metrology.

This diversity allows members to meet and interact with a wide range of people, including electrical metrologists working in the power industry, dimensional metrologists running one person laboratories, research scientists of international standing, mechanical metrologists from the automotive industry, chemical metrologists working in the pharmaceutical industry, medical scientists, testing officers working in quality control laboratories and flow measurement experts from the petroleum industry.
