About
Tasmanian Indonesian Student Society (PPIA - Tasmania) was formed in 1962 for the first time. Then in 1973, the PPIA-Tas was abandoned since there were not many Indonesian left in Tasmania. Then in 1984 many students came because of the scholarship and from government sponsor to study in Tasmania, so PPIA-Tas reformed again.
In 2007 PPIA-Tas has changed it name to ISS - Indonesian Student Society.
