Overview
Established in 2008, Infrastructure Australia is the Australian Government’s independent advisor on nationally significant infrastructure investment planning and project prioritisation.
Our governing legislation, the Infrastructure Australia Act 2008 (Cth), defines our role and responsibilities in guiding nationally significant infrastructure investment and reform.
Reforms to Infrastructure Australia
In December 2022, the Australian Government released the findings and recommendations of the Independent Review of Infrastructure Australia, along with its response.
The purpose of the Review was to ensure that Infrastructure Australia was positioned to achieve its core purpose — to provide quality, independent advice to the Australian Government on nationally significant infrastructure that supports the economy, and addresses the challenges and opportunities of the future.
In December 2023, amendments to the Infrastructure Australia Act 2008 (Cth) were enacted by the Australian Parliament to give effect to the major elements of the Review. The legislative changes affect the majority of Infrastructure Australia’s work program and its governance structure, including changing its Accountable Authority from a Board to three Commissioners. In April 2024, the Australian Government appointed an interim Chief Commissioner and interim Commissioner. In September 2024, the Australian Government appointed Infrastructure Australia’s inaugural Chief Commissioner and two Commissioners, as outlined in legislation.
