That ICPA (Aust) lead an initiative to conduct a national census of all home tutors currently employed in Australia.
The ICPA has been advocating for formal recognition of home tutors and the important role they play in supporting geographically isolated students.
As part of this advocacy, a submission has been made by ICPA (Aust) seeking the establishment of an Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA) code for home tutors. However, many home tutors are currently employed under alternative classifications, such as “station hand,” often for insurance and administrative purposes. As a result, accurately determining the true number of employed home tutors is difficult.
To address this issue, we are requesting that ICPA (Aust) assist branches nationwide in gathering a head count of all currently employed home tutors within member-associated schools.
By collecting confirmed data from across Australia, the ICPA will be better equipped to advocate for appropriate recognition of home tutors and to demonstrate the scale and significance of the role.
