About
As the Australian Council of State School Organisations (ACSSO), we are the voice that speaks on behalf of the interests of the families and communities of more than 2.53 million children attending government schools in Australia. We are one of the oldest continuously operating parent organisations in Australia and possibly the world. We were formed in 1947 to bring together various state and territory and small parent groups, as well as individual families to develop national policies reflecting the way families wanted public education to be offered for their children.
