About Us
IACs are committees of HAL that provide advice to the HAL Board. IAC membership is recommended to HAL by the Peak Industry Body (PIB) of each industry. The PIB is responsible for ensuring the skills required on an IAC are met by the persons they recommend.
As part of the Australian Government’s commitment to rural research and development, horticulture industries can access matching Commonwealth funding through HAL for research and development activities.
