State Council meets four times a year - delegates from each of the 19 branches are entitled to attend - the meetings are usually in March, May, August and November.

State Council decides on the strategic direction for NPA and sets NPA Policies.

The work of individual branches is strengthened and supported by State Council.
A guest speaker is usually invited to each State Council meeting and very often this is an employee of NPWS who can give the delegates a briefing about the National Park issues within the region in which the meeting takes place.

Frequently, the State Council meeting follows a theme.

Recent topics of State Councils have included:

1. Marine protected areas and Marine Conservation Policy
2. State Conservation Areas Policy.
3. The relationship between NPA and local Government.
4. Branch renewal.
5. Communications within NPA and beyond.
