National Council
 

The S.S.P.A. is administered by a body called the National Council elected at every National annual general meeting held at the National Convention each year. Its structure includes an executive consisting of a National President, National Chairperson, National  Secretary and National Treasurer, and a committee of ordinary Council members.

The elected National Council meets on a quarterly basis i.e. approximately every three months. Its first meeting is always held directly after each Annual General Meeting in October, and thereafter meets in December, and then March and June of the following year. While the meetings require the attendance of National Council members, it also allows for members to attend in the capacity of observers. The meetings are held at a member's home and are generally followed by a social get-together.

The main duty of the National Council is to disseminate all such information to SSPA members as the Council considers is in the interests of the members and consistent with the objectives of the SSPA. This is by means of meetings, published minutes, circulars, SSPA Journal or otherwise, as the Council sees fit.

At the 37th Annual General Meeting held at Phillip Island, Victoria in September, 2004, elections for the 2004/2005 National Council were held and the results were as follows:
