Headmasters' Conference of the Independent Schools of Australia

The Headmasters' Conference of the Independent Schools of Australia (HCISA) was founded in 1931 and amalgamated in 1985 with the Association of Independent Headmistresses to form the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia. It is the peak body representing the independent schools of Australia. It was modeled on the English Conference and was founded by four of the most influential Headmasters in Australia's history (Sir Francis Rolland CMG OBE, Sir James Darling , Leonard Robson CBE MC and the Rev Julian Bickersteth MC . A history of the Conference outlining its activities and influence was written by James Wilson Hogg MBE. The Journal of the Conference is held by the National Library of Australia.
