   Reports and Activities

 

The Government has established Industry Innovation Councils (Councils) covering a number of industries.

The Councils contribute to building an innovation culture in Australia by:
• providing strategic advice on innovation priorities to the Minister;
• championing innovation in industry; and
• building connections with other organisations including the Enterprise Connect network.

Members are appointed by Senator the Hon Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research for their leadership, knowledge and expertise.  They come from business, unions and professional organisations, science and research agencies, and government.

The Government and its stakeholders will partner to:
• improve productivity, global competitiveness and market access for Australian industry;
• build skills and a highly flexible workforce for the 21st century through best practice in employment and training;
• ensure the sustainable development of industry; and
• respond to challenges, including climate change and social inclusion.

The Industry Innovation Councils Framework outlines the role and operational 
arrangements for Councils. For a quick overview see Information Brochure.
