The Collections Council of Australia was established in 2004 with the aim of advancing the stability and the sustainability of the Australian collections sector, particularly in relation to the archive, gallery, library and museum domains.

The company has received funding from Cultural Ministers Council to enable the completion of several projects, and the transfer of some activities to other organisations.
The Secretariat expects to be active for several months into 2010. We are preparing to write to all Australian collecting organisations with advice about our ‘legacy’, and will use this website and
our e-Bulletin to convey fresh news.
The Collections Council continues to host the website for Blue Shield Australia and is in the process of transferring the Blue Shield secretariat to the Australian Library and Information Association.
The Collections Council of Australia Ltd was initiated and is supported by the Cultural Ministers Council, an intergovernmental forum for ministers responsible for culture and the arts in Australia and New Zealand.
