NEW: Innovation Profiles are real stories on innovation in industry in Australia.  Twenty-five members from five Industry Innovation Councils talk to camera about their experiences as innovation leaders.

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

The Councils contribute to building an innovation culture in Australia.

They:

  • provide strategic advice on innovation priorities to the Minister
  • champion innovation in industry
  • build connections and collaborate across Councils and with other innovation initiatives.

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
  • respond to challenges, including climate change and social inclusion.

The Industry Innovation Councils Framework [.pdf, 48kb] outlines the role and operational arrangements for Councils.

For a quick overview see the Information Brochure [.pdf, 700kb].

Information on membership and other Council related matters will be uploaded as it becomes available.
