Council meets at least once each year, and generally no more than twice each year. Where necessary, video and teleconferencing are used at other times to consider particular matters. Council meeting dates are listed below. Council occasionally issues information statements/press releases which are authorised by the Chair and which summarise major decisions taken at the most recent meeting. Available information statements are indicated below. The Council, which meets at least once a year, is chaired in rotation for a calendar year by each of the member governments. The Council is supported by a group of senior officials who meet regularly as the Australian Education Systems Officials Committee (AESOC). AESOC is directly responsible to the Ministerial Council for the execution of Ministerial Council decisions. The Council is supported by a number of taskforces convened as needed for particular tasks. These taskforces have prescribed timeframes and reporting arrangements and are reviewed annually. The Council is serviced by a small independent Secretariat which is located in Melbourne and is funded by all member governments.
