ICPA works to promote awareness and understanding on the problems and needs of rural and remote students, assisting them to gain access to appropriate schooling, special services, government and private agencies. ICPA works with politicians, departmental representatives, educational bodies and other groups concerned with the welfare of rural and remote Australians, to rectify the inequalities inherent in educating rural and remote students, as we believe every child has the right to equality of educational opportunity, regardless of where they live.
