Welcome to INPAA
​
INPAA is committed to the promotion of infant safety. INPAA works closely with regulatory authorities, international affiliates and industry members to improve infant safety.
​
This is achieved by raising awareness within the Australian nursery industry on the safe supply and use of products, advocacy of injury prevention strategies and the on-going promotion of the industry.
​
Within the Australian Nursery Industry, INPAA is regarded as the leader in determining product requirements. Where safety concerns are identified without Standards or Guidelines, new safety guidelines are developed. INPAA provides advice to what guidelines and standards should be adopted.
INPAA has access through its membership to Australian’s leading product safety experts
