Cultural industries are the lifeblood of a vibrant and creative society. They are also integral to Australia's business success and support industry through a range of essential and innovative services. The five Training Packages relating to Cultural and Related industries are designed to help creative people benefit and profit from their skills.

Cultural Industries National Project Reference Groups and Project Advisory Committees
National Project Reference Groups (NPRGs) and Project Advisory Committees (PACs) are developed on a needs-basis and are responsible for providing advice and feedback to IBSA around specific projects. These groups/committees provide input to the development of project reports, units of competencies and other deliverables, and promote the project and its outcomes to other relevant stakeholders. Regular meetings provide a forum for targeted project guidance and industry content expertise; enabling the exchange of ideas, identification of issues, gathering of information, and the development of appropriate solutions.
