The South Australian Branch of the Statistical Society holds regular meetings throughout the year, usually on Wednesday evenings. At each meeting an invited local or visiting professional presents a one-hour seminar on a statistical topic. Meetings are held at 5:30pm for 6pm, with refreshments provided prior to the talk. Visitors are most welcome. After the talk, all are welcome to adjourn with the speaker to a nearby restaurant.

The Branch organises an annual careers evening aimed at early career statisticians, who are people studying statistics or are in their first five years of working in their profession young statisticians. Representatives from a range of organisations employing statisticians in South Australia provide short presentations describing the role and the typical workday of statisticians in their organisation. Attendees then have the opportunity to talk individually with the employer representatives to ask questions and learn more about their work and job opportunities.

The Branch inaugurated a series of public lectures in 2001 on statistical topics of broad interest. This lecture series has been named after E.A. Cornish who was a leading figure in the early years of the statistical profession in Adelaide.
