Australian Education Senior Officials Committee (AESOC)

The Education Ministers Meeting (EMM) is primarily supported by a group of senior officials with responsibility for childhood education and care, school education, higher education, and international education who meet as the Australian Education Senior Officials Committee (AESOC). AESOC is directly responsible to EMM for the execution of EMM decisions. Specifically, AESOC provides policy advice to EMM, supervises and coordinates EMM work across its advisory bodies and working groups, resolves operational and policy issues before progressing matters to EMM, and manages and coordinates jurisdictions' funding contributions for nationally agreed projects and initiatives, through the Australian Government EMM Support Team.
