Our vision is to have a world leading IP system that builds prosperity for Australia.
Our portfolio and ministers
We fall within the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources as a listed entity under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 but operate independently of the Department on financial matters and with some degree of autonomy on other matters. The Minister for Industry, Science and Technology is Hon Karen Andrews MP.
