Summary

The National Board of Employment, Education and Training (NBEET) was established as a Commonwealth advisory body to provide independent advice to the relevant Minister. The Australian Research Council [I] (1988-2001) was established as one of 4 constituent councils of NBEET. When NBEET was abolished in 1996 most of its councils were wound down. Legislation to effect the abolition was not passed until March 2000. The ARC continued to operate throughout this time, as its functions included direct responsibility or funding advice and elements of program administration.
