The Australian Professional Teachers Association (APTA) is a national body supporting and advocating for professional teaching associations across Australia.
Our members are the joint councils and peak associations for professional teaching associations in seven Australian states and territories. We provide a voice on the national stage to represent the interests of our members, and through them, the thousands of teachers across the country who are members of a teaching association.
Our members – and ourselves – work directly with educators in schools, pre-schools, universities, vocational institutions and other places of learning. We understand the needs and interests of educators and actively contribute to national discussions on their behalf. We work with passion and professionalism to advocate for the important work of our members.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about APTA and our important work. In particular, we strongly encourage you to visit the respective webpages of our members, who work ceaselessly to support the day-to-day activities of associations from Tasmania to the Tiwi Islands.
