As 2016 draws to a close, PIPA would like to thank all of our members for their continued support this year.

It's been a successful year for the association with our number of PIPA members reaching 173 – up more than 10 per cent on last year.

We also had 240 students in the 15/16 financial year, which was an increase of more than 20 per cent on the previous year. The number of QPIAs has also increased by more than 10 per cent over the past year.

Next year is promising to be even more successful for the association with a number of events in the pipeline.
