Core offering

ANZSRS delivers membership-based professional services for respiratory function scientists and technologists, including the CRFS (Certified Respiratory Function Scientist) certification credential, a joint TSANZ/NATA Respiratory Function Laboratory Accreditation Program, the Annual Scientific Meeting, regional branch meetings across six branches, research and education grants, position statements, and a Competency Framework with study guides. All offerings are designed to promote standardised respiratory function testing practice and continuing professional development in Australasia.

Product overview

ANZSRS operates as a professional society providing a unified membership-based service portfolio rather than a commercial product platform. The core offerings center on professional certification (CRFS Certification), continuing education through Annual Scientific Meetings and regional branch meetings, research support via grants and awards, and professional development resources including competency frameworks and position statements. The society also collaborates with TSANZ and NATA on laboratory accreditation programs. All services are oriented toward promoting excellence in respiratory function measurement and research for scientists and technologists in clinical or research respiratory function laboratories.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Regional players

• British Thoracic Society (BTS): UK professional society for respiratory physicians and allied health professionals. Comparable in its role as a national respiratory standards and education body, but physician-led and not directly overlapping with ANZSRS's respiratory function scientist focus.
• Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR): Regional respiratory society covering the Asia-Pacific region, providing education, research, and standards activities. Comparable as a professional society in the same geography ANZSRS serves, though at a broader regional and clinical-physician level.
• Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS): Canada's national specialty society for respiratory medicine. Operates as a respiratory standards and education body analogous to ANZSRS, but in a different geography and with a clinical physician membership base rather than respiratory function scientists.

Broad incumbents

• Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ): Peak physician-focused thoracic society for Australia and New Zealand and a strategic partner of ANZSRS. Operates in the same respiratory standards ecosystem (joint ASM, TSANZ/NATA accreditation program) but covers the broader clinical and research thoracic medicine community rather than respiratory function scientists specifically.
• American Thoracic Society (ATS): Leading US-based respiratory professional society covering pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Analogous to ANZSRS as a respiratory-focused professional body with certification, education, and standards activities, but operating at significantly larger scale across a broader clinical audience.
• European Respiratory Society (ERS): Pan-European professional society covering the full respiratory medicine field, with which ANZSRS has a GTM partnership providing complimentary membership benefits to ANZSRS members. Comparable in its professional society and standards-setting role but vastly broader in scope, geography, and resources.

Others

• National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA): Australian accreditation body that co-runs the TSANZ/NATA Respiratory Function Laboratory Accreditation Program with ANZSRS. Not a competitor but a key ecosystem partner; comparable in its role as a healthcare standards authority that confers accreditation relevant to ANZSRS member laboratories.

Direct peers

• Association for Respiratory Technology and Physiology (ARTP): UK-based professional body serving respiratory physiologists, technologists, and clinical scientists performing lung function and sleep testing. Closest international analogue to ANZSRS, with overlapping certification, education, and standards-setting activities for respiratory function laboratory professionals.
