19.01.2022 Thank you to Tasmania ICPA President Kate Thompson for representing our state at this weekend's meeting in Melbourne with ICPA Federal and State President's and representatives at the Melbourne Grammar School.

An excellent opportunity to brainstorm and gain momentum with like minded leaders.

06.01.2022 Parents of Distance Education children face the tyranny of distance and reliable communications right across Australia. ICPA both State and Federally advocate for equity of access and now the whole of Australia could be facing the same issue. Well done to Federal President Alana McFarlane Moller on detailing what so many families face every day while educating their children.

03.01.2022 Tasmania ICPA is disappointed that the Federal ICPA Conference will not be held in Hobart this year however we do realise that this is the best possible decision considering the circumstances. We wish ICPA Aust - Isolated Children's Parents' Association all the very best with their endeavours sourcing a viable, alternative option.
