The BOARD is the ultimate decision-making body of The RACI and takes advice from the ASSEMBLY which represents the views and interests of the Branches and Divisions.

BRANCHES of the RACI represent the interests of members in individual States and Territories. They provide local focus for the activities of some of the Divisions.

SECTIONS and GROUPS operate within the auspices of a BRANCH in most states. SECTIONS are regional areas of active RACI members. GROUPS are special interest areas of chemistry operating within the state level. Details of STATE GROUPS and SECTIONS can be found under the relevant state branch website.

The thirteen DIVISIONS of the Institute are concerned with the specialised disciplines of:

Analytical Chemistry Biomolecular Chemistry Cereal Chemistry Chemical Education Colloid and Surface Science Electrochemistry Environment Industrial Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Materials Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Polymer
