Isolated Children's Parents' Association

Voluntary national parent body dedicated to ensuring that all geographically isolated students have equality with their non-isolated peers, of access to an appropriate education.

The Association has over 3,300 member families, residing in the more remote parts of Australia, who all share a common concern of gaining access to education for their children and the provision of services required to achieve this.

Membership includes a cross section of Australia's rural and remote population and includes fishermen, miners, itinerant employees, farmers, pastoralists and small business owners.

To achieve its goal ICPA pursues objectives in the following areas:

• Education Allowances
• Boarding Schools/School Term Hostels
• Travel
• Distance Education
• Special Education
• Curriculum
• Communications
• Small Rural and Remote Schools
• Early Childhood Education
• Tertiary Education
• Country Areas Program.
