Motion:
That ICPA NT continue to support ICPA Australia in their advocacy for a Remote Isolated Classroom Supervisor (RICS) allowance.
Explanation:
Families in geographically isolated areas rely on children’s supervisors to enable their children to access education. These supervisors play a vital role in supporting learning, wellbeing, and daily routines, often in challenging and isolated conditions, yet receive limited recognition or financial support.
A Remote Isolated Classroom Supervisor (RICS) allowance would help reduce the financial burden on families, improve the attraction and retention of suitable supervisors, and support equitable education outcomes for remote children.
