| Profile | The Area Consultative Committee (ACC) of North East Victoria was established to advise the government on employment issues and on ways to improve job and training opportunities in the North East. The ACC has the opportunity to have greater input to the Minister on national policy issues. It complements other organisations eg national associations and industry bodies, in offering advice to the Minister, DOTARS and DEWR and government committees where appropriate. ACCs are independent. They determine their own Mission Statements. Each takes a broader, long term view of employment and economical development prospects in their regions and constantly reviews its Membership to ensure it is equipped to proved broader, balanced and quality information to the Minister on employment markets. Each must provide the Minister with a Regional Employment Strategy and then report quarterly on the achievements gained. Other submissions addressing local issues may be prepared in response to Ministerial reference or emerging regional priorities. |
