About Independent Schools Association of Western Australia (AISWA)

​

The Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia (AISWA) represents Independent schools across Western Australia, providing advocacy, leadership, and tailored support services to its member schools. AISWA plays a vital role in strengthening collaboration and supporting the diverse operational needs of the independent school sector in WA.

AISWA was FP Software’s foundational partner, playing a critical role in the development of the Buyer Connect platform. Commencing in early 2025, the partnership involved an extended and highly collaborative project timeframe, focused on deeply understanding school based needs and establishing the core processes, governance frameworks, and workflows required to support them effectively.

Working closely with AISWA and its member schools, FP Software helped create a platform designed specifically around how schools operate, prioritising usability, trust, and practical value. The AISWA Buyer Connect platform launched in September 2025, delivering a centralised marketplace that supports schools to connect, collaborate, and transact in ways that align with their everyday requirements.

The foundational work completed with AISWA laid the groundwork for all future Buyer Connect partnerships, ensuring the platform remains school led, scalable, and responsive to the needs of the independent education sector.
