That ICPA NT continue to work with the Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Education & Training, Department of Education and Training and all relevant stakeholders to establish and support Remuneration for Isolated Classroom Supervisors (RICS) as financial recognition for the work undertaken by Home Tutors supporting geographically isolated students enrolled in distance education.
To enrol students in Northern Territory Schools of the Air it is mandatory to supply a Home Tutor to supervise the distance education classroom.
ICPA NT has been advocating for this for many years, and we thank them for their ongoing commitment. With the official recognition of the Remuneration for Isolated Classroom Supervisor (RICS) at the 2025 ICPA Federal Conference, we encourage ICPA NT to continue their efforts to ensure that geographically isolated students have equitable support through a formal supervision subsidy, addressing the unique challenges of distance education.
