The Independent Scholars Association of Australia Inc is a network of scholars pursuing interests in the broad streams of the humanities and sciences. Their work is produced in a variety of forms including book and journal publications, films and documentaries, script writing and journalism. As an association ISAA has no political affiliations but seeks to encourage all who, independently of institutions, offer well-founded studies of society, in the humanities and the sciences, or ideas of cultural significance. Scholarship and enthusiasm need to be supported, particularly at a time when governments, and therefore government-funded institutions, tend to regard scholarship as an economic commodity rather than the fabric of civilisation. ISAA welcomes new members.
The SA Writers' Centre is assisted by the South Australian Government through Arts SA, and the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory bodies.
