We have been working hard in recent months to design and deliver a new and dynamic online presence. As a result of that work, it is our great pleasure to share with you the new PAI website. It’s fresh, easy to navigate and reflects our mission to provide professional learning and support for school leaders.
Likewise, the PAI blog will house interesting curated commentary and information. It is designed to build on and drive discussion about the real-life experience of leadership in schools.

Earlier this month, beyondblue Chairman The Hon Jeff Kennett AC and Board Director The Hon Julia Gillard launched the redeveloped MindMatters initiative.
PAI supports this important initiative by working directly with school leadership to build their capacity.
Contact one of our staff to learn more about the initiative and to sign up.
