Welcome
Welcome to the IOPS Victoria home page. IOPS Melbourne generally holds fornightly, open meetings on Sunday afternoons (see the events page for details). If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email us at the address below.
From founding to future: at the 2014 general meeting the active members of IOPS Victoria decided to reform as IOPS Melbourne. The website doesn’t yet cater to metroplitan-level chapters so, until it does, the IOPS Victoria page will be used by IOPS Melbourne and any other metro or regional chapters that form henceforth.
