Education and Training Reform Act 2006

In respect of each year, the Board of AMES Australia must—

prepare, in consultation with the Minister, a proposed statement of corporate intent in relation to the provision of adult, community and further education, vocational education and training, employment and other associated programs and services; and

submit the proposed statement of corporate intent to the Minister.

If, prior to 1 October, the Minister provides to the Board of AMES Australia a statement of expectations in relation to the operations of AMES Australia in the next year, these must be taken into account in preparing a statement of corporate intent.

If the Board of AMES Australia and the Minister fail to agree on a statement of corporate intent before 1 March of the year to which the statement of corporate intent relates, the Minister may make a statement of corporate intent in relation to AMES Australia.

A statement of corporate intent may be varied at any time if the Board of AMES Australia and the Minister so agree.

If the Board of AMES Australia and the Minister fail to agree to a proposed variation of a statement of corporate intent within 28 days after the variation is proposed, the Minister may—

vary the statement of corporate intent; or

decline to vary the statement of corporate intent.

The Minister must cause copies of each statement of corporate intent and any variation to be made available on request to a member of the public.
