Message from the ISSA Committee

                     February 2009

The ISSA committee and on behalf of all our members would like to send our best wishes and regards to all ISSA members, family and friends who have been involved in or have been touched by the recent bush fires. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Our Registrar would further like to apologize for any delays in recent applications or required paper work, this being mostly due to the fire hazard conditions at this time. Please be patient.

All paper work will be completed as soon as possible. Further notice for any members who have lost or had damaged paper work due to the recent fires please contact the registrar at your convenience and advice of your situation.
