IPA Australia Fellowship
The International Police Association is a non-political association.
Membership of the IPA is over 380,000. National Sections exist in 68 countries throughout the world, with more in the process of affiliation. We have witnessed the steady growth of what has become the undisputed major police organisation in the world, both in membership number and influence.
It is wholly financed by members of the association through membership fees and socials carried out by the regions. The IPA does not solicit donations.
People can share in the community of IPA membership by subscribing to the ever popular Police Down Under Magazine. The magazine is published bi-monthly and can be accessed in PDF form via the ‘social’ tab on this site.
There are other advantages too. Members are able to apply for international study assistance through the Arthur Troop Scholarship fund. Plus, members’ children or grandchildren may be eligible for travel sponsorship through the Ray Dodd Award.
But even without these grants, members can still save money on travel by taking advantage of discount deals and accommodation. Members can also stay at the IPA house in Melbourne or on the Gold Coast.
There is ample opportunity to get to know others with similar interests via the Hobbies Bureau or keep up with social events in a particular region via the web pages for the different states. Whatever the preference, this website offers a central meeting place for information about the IPA Australia community.
