SPA is happy to announce its new website... and you're looking at it right now!

This new site is one part of a large IT upgrade that SPA is undertaking over several months which will include new membership databases and online interactions with members. Hopefully this will lead to better internet communication and new opportunities to transmit our important message about population to the Australian public.

This new site will have some teething problems in late September so please bear with us as we work to fix them.
