  Kate Brooks is an astronomer at the CSIRO Australia Telescope National Facility where she holds the position of Millimetre Astronomy Research Scientist. Her work is focused on star formation, the interstellar medium and millimetre/sub-millimetre astronomical techniques.

• Peter Cottrell, University of Canterbury
  Peter Cottrell is an astronomer in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, where he has been since 1982 following an undergraduate and graduate career in Australia and postdocs in the USA. He has a wide range of research interests, mainly in stellar physics and astronomical instrumentation. Peter is the University of Canterbury´s Director on the Board of the Southern African Large Telescope project, an 11-m optical telescope in South Africa. Peter has also served on the ASA Council as an ´off-shore´ Councillor.

• Simon Driver, University of St Andrews
  Simon Driver is a Reader and Observatory Director at the University of St Andrews. His research focusses on the study of galaxy populations, their formation, and their evolution. He is currently leading the GAMA survey to study structure on 1 kpc to 1 Mpc scales.

• John Lattanzio, Monash University
  John Lattanzio works in all areas of stellar astrophysics, from stellar evolution to hydrodynamics, from star formation to nucleosynthesis. He has held positions at Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Institute of Astronomy (Cambridge, UK). He is now Professor of Astrophysics at Monash University, Melbourne.

• Lister Staveley-Smith, University of Western Australia
  Lister Staveley-Smith is a Professor of Physics and a Premier´s Fellow in Radio Astronomy at the University of Western Australia, Perth. His research interests include the Magellanic System, supernova 1987A, nearby galaxies, surveys of galaxies and planning for future instrumentation such as the Square Kilometre Array and its new technology precursors.

• Stuart Wyithe, University of Melbourne

Stuart Wyithe is an astronomer at the University of Melbourne. His primary research interests lie in the field of quasar formation and reionisation in the early universe, in particular the evolution of the earliest galaxies. He also works in the field of gravitational lensing.
