The Industry, Science and Resources portfolio’s aim is to improve the well-being of Australians by:
increasing the international competitiveness of Australian manufacturing, resources and services industries, including tourism;
developing Australia’s science and technology capabilities and infrastructure; and
encouraging excellence in sports performance, and increasing participation in sport and recreational activities by Australians.
The portfolio has responsibility for developing, implementing and administering policies and programs designed to promote the achievement of these aims.
The portfolio brings together the ten agencies that report separately in this document, as outlined in the chart on page 17. The map on pages 18 and 19 shows the outcome structure for each agency.
