HumanAbility Industry Advisory Committee Members

Industry Advisory Committees provide advice in relation to training packages and workforce development projects. Industry Advisory Committees gather information from their industry sector, including challenges, opportunities, trends and industry requirements for training packages, or in relation to projects to be undertaken by HumanAbility. Industry Advisory Committees also identify the skills required by industry now and the future. 

Industry Advisory Committees will be established in each of the following subsectors: 

  • Aged Care and Disability Support;
  • Children’s Education and Care;
  • Health and Human Services; and
  • Sport and Recreation.

A cross-sectoral committee will also be formed, comprising representation from members of the four Industry Advisory Committees.

Note: TAFE and RTO Expressions of Interest have been reviewed by each IAC and will be notified by the end of November.
