IISA Board activities are guided by governing legislation, the Industry Research and Development Act 1986, and ministerial directions issued by the Minister for Industry and Science. Beyond its strategic advice, the Board has undertaken activities consistent with a Statement of Expectations first issued to IISA in December 2016. An updated Statement of Expectations was issued in December 2020.
The Board comprises up to 15 members including a Chair, Deputy Chair and Ex-Officio member, appointed by the Minister for Industry and Science.
