Welcome to the website for the Australian Parents Council (APC)

The APC is the national federation of organisations representing
parents of non-government school children.

History
The early activities of State Parents and Friends Associations which came into being prior to 1962 laid the foundations for the formation of the APC.
The history of the APC is a great story of how we evolved in the early days, and how each State became an integral part of the APC.

Representation
The APC is represented by State affliates in most States of Australia and we encourage people wishing to contact their State organisation, to make contact with their local affiliate.
