The Agriculture Senior Officials' Committee (AGSOC) comprises all department heads and CEOs of Australian, State and Territory agencies responsible for primary industries policy issues. It is chaired by the Secretary of the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. AGSOC provides for cross-jurisdictional cooperative and coordinated approaches to matters of national interest. It also supports the Agriculture Ministers' Meeting (AMM) in achieving its objectives. AGSOC has a number of sub-committees and task groups that report to it for defined work.
