The Isolated Children's Parents Association (ICPA) is a volunteer organization of parents living with children in rural and remote communities throughout Australia. ICPA provides advocacy support, information and resources to the families of isolated students. We are committed to supporting their well-being, academic success and accessing their right to education.

Yes, ICPA offers many different services and initiatives for its members. Through our monthly newsletters we provide information about relevant policies, new programs, events and activities available for members in remote areas. Additionally, we offer grants and scholarships providing financial assistance for those families that need it most.

No cost is involved with becoming a member of ICPA; however we do ask each family to contribute an annual membership fee which helps cover the costs associated with running this volunteer run organisation.

Each year the ICPA organize several professional development seminars as well as annual conferences throughout the year. These are designed to provide members with an opportunity to learn from expert presenters on topics relevant to educating students in rural and remote settings as well as networking opportunities with other like-minded people who share similar experiences.

The ICPA isolation bursary program gives financial assistance to families who are living in rural or remote locations without adequate educational facilities for their child/children's schooling needs. Eligible applications can receive up to $2,000 per annum which may be used towards tuition fees or other related costs such as travel expenses when attending courses not available locally.

Absolutely! Our website is filled with resources created specifically for families living in rural and remote communities including guides on different educational options available through distance education programs and private schools plus research papers on issues affecting remote living students written by experts in the field.

Unfortunately we do not provide legal advice or representation but there are several organisations that specialise in representing families affected by circumstances related to Educational Negligence claims against government bodies that can help guide you through this process.
