The Centre for Forensic Science commenced operation in 2002. It consists of UTS core and associate members from the Faculties of Science, Law, Engineering and IT, as well as industry partners. The Centre promotes Forensic Science as a multidisciplinary methodology applied within a scientific, legal and political structure.

The Centre aims at the provision of high-quality education, enhancement of professional practice and the integration of high-caliber research and independent services for the benefit of the community at large.

The Centre capitalizes on the well-established UTS forensic programs and organises Short-Courses and professional seminars for law enforcement agencies/forensic organizations and practitioners, insurance companies, legal firms and various research institutes.

Research programs are in the areas of fingerprints, questioned documents, trace evidence, fire investigation and analysis, illicit drugs, toxicology, DNA profiling, materials and engineering, statistics and data handling, and artificial neural network applied to Forensic classification.

The Centre also offers an independent investigative and consulting service through the UTS commercial company, AccessUTS Limited.
