The Australian Sunscreen Council was pleased to attend a reception and networking event hosted at the residence of the Consul General of the United States of America in Woollahra, New South Wales, on Thursday, 14 May 2026.

The event was held on the occasion of the visit of Registrar Corp’s Chief Revenue Officer, Tim Rourk, and brought together a range of industry leaders, regulatory specialists, and business representatives with shared interests in international trade, compliance, and market access.

Australian Sunscreen Council member Joseph Mizikovsky was in attendance, representing the Council and engaging with key stakeholders across the broader consumer goods, regulatory, and export sectors. The evening provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the growing importance of robust compliance systems, international regulatory alignment, and the opportunities for Australian manufacturers to expand their presence in global markets.
