What is NAPSA?

The National Association of Prospective Student Advisers (NAPSA) was formed in 1989 and is comprised of University, TAFE and private college prospective student advisers who provide information on courses, accommodation, costs and services available at their respective organisations, to potential students. Throughout Australasia, NAPSA members work in collaboration with school career advisers and guidance officers to promote further education as an option for secondary students and members of the community. The association also provides a vital network for members and helps to develop an ethos and set of skills for all those working within this industry.
