Board and Advisory Committees
There are two levels within our management and advisory structure:
- Board: Responsible for overall management and corporate governance

- Sport and Recreation
Board
The Board of Service Skills currently has six directors, comprising two representatives of each of the industry sectors within the Service Skills coverage. Nominations for these positions are received from the Industry Advisory Committees in accordance with the Industry Advisory Committee Rules.

Industry Advisory Committees
Industry Advisory Committees (IACs) have been established for each of the three industry areas to provide industry intelligence and advice on the skills needs, directions and significant trends within industry sectors. They include representatives from peak industry associations, unions and large and small enterprises.
Members of these committees are nominated by specified nominating organisations as outlined in the Industry Advisory Committee Rules.
Each committee is endorsed by the Board, and the Industry Advisory Committees provide advice and strategic industry-specific direction to the Board.
Each of these committees elects two representatives to sit on the governing Board of the Council.
