Videos of RSV Presentations

We are increasingly live streaming our events to help members stay connected to our programs during the pandemic, and to reach communities from regional and rural areas. Our live broadcasts will appear in this window when running – otherwise it will present as “video unavailable.” Alternatively, you can access our livestream from our Facebook site at https://www.facebook.com/royalsocietyvictoria/live/ .
