VISE is a volunteer service established in 1989 by a small group of retired teachers and the Tennant Creek Lions Club in consultation with the Isolated Children's Parents' Association (I.C.P.A.). The aim of VISE is to support the education of students in rural areas especially isolated outback families involved with distance education.

Parents living in remote situations frequently worry that they are not providing the right kind of help and guidance in supporting their children's education - and positive and constructive feedback or guidance on how they are filling their role from VISE Tutors is appreciated

VISE recruits retired teachers and others with relevant experience, knowledge, and skills.
These people like to spend time helping isolated students and families.
Needs can be numerous such as:
Reading and mathematics,
Studying secondary correspondence, or
Domestic assistance where help or respite is needed.
