Can’t say enough good things about RCS. Knowledge of presenters was fantastic. Course I believe every grazier should do. Follow up and information attendees can access is great! Walt
A grazing or Farming for Profit course has the highest return on any education $ you will ever spend. RCS provides across the board education tools and backup that, without doubt helps agricultural businesses to become more profitable, sustainable and better prepared to bounce back after droughts, downturns and floods. Brian
Best well-rounded course. Honestly the best well-rounded course I have ever taken. I loved how immersive it was to make us really zone in on our businesses. It made me look at our numbers with different eyes and consider all aspects of our grazing business, not just tax and cashflow. It gave me more tools and understanding than I ever thought was possible. This gives us confidence with our decision making and future. Janeta

Weeds continue to impact biodiversity, agriculture, and public spaces, posing challenges to productivity and land use.

We extend a warm invitation to all involved in weed research, policy and extension to join us and contribute to this vital discussion.
About Invasive Species Queensland
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.
