Business Registry Strategic Advisory Council

On this page

About the Council

BRSAC dates back to 2009, when the inaugural meeting of the Australian Business Register (ABR) Advisory Board was held.

In 2019, there was a review of ABR governance structures, and the ABR Board, as it had been known since 2015, became BRSAC.

The purpose of the BRSAC is to:

  • play a key role in influencing the strategic direction and priorities, and identifying risks in the delivery of the Registrar’s 2024 vision
  • advocate and support the Registrar’s role in unlocking the register's economic and social value for the Australian community
  • support a fairer business environment for the community, businesses and government through registry services, provision of business information and administration of director identification numbers.

The Council meets 3 times a year. No sitting fees or related payments are made to Council members.
