Australian Research Council annual report 1998-99: incorporating reports for the National Board of Employment, Education and Training and the Higher Education Council

The National Board of Employment, Education and Training (NBEET) was established under the Employment, Education and Training Act 1988 to provide the Minister with independent policy advice on matters relating to his portfolio responsibilities. It was augmented by a number of councils including the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the Higher Education Council (HEC).

In 1996, the Government introduced legislation to abolish NBEET and its Councils, with the exception of the Australian Research Council and the Higher Education Council. NBEET and affected Councils progressively ceased to operate from this time. This legislation was still before the Parliament when it was dissolved for the 1998 Federal election. After being re-elected, the Government once again introduced legislation in March 1999 to abolish NBEET and its Councils, with the exception of the ARC. Pending its passage, all affected Councils and NBEET have ceased operation. At the close of the reporting period the legislation was still before the Parliament.

This is the final annual report relating to the National Board of Employment, Education and Training.
