Queensland

The Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association Queensland (ICPA Qld) is a voluntary, apolitical, not-for-profit organisation representing more than 1,200 member families across 45 branches throughout Queensland.

Our members encompass families engaged in all stages of rural and remote education, from early childhood to state schooling, boarding and distance education, and beyond to tertiary pathways. Organisations from across Queensland support ICPA Qld and share our commitment to ensuring equitable access to education for every student, regardless of where they live.

Each year, State Council is elected at the Annual General Meeting held during the ICPA Qld State Conference. Councillors represent branches and educational phases from across the state and work voluntarily to advocate for the issues raised through branch motions and discussions throughout the year.

The State Conference provides an important opportunity for Departmental representatives, Members of Parliament, Senators, boarding school staff, and other key organisations to hear directly from families experiencing the realities of education in rural and remote Queensland.

Council’s advocacy work and delegations to Brisbane are supported through the generosity of sponsors, donations, fundraising activities and a small proportion of membership fees.
