The major role of these Ministerial Councils is to better integrate Australia's conservation and sustainable production objectives.

The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council (NRMMC) and the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC) were established in 2001 by agreement of Australian Federal, State and Territory Governments. The Councils have subsumed all or part of the work of three previous bodies, namely the Agricultural and Resource Management Council of Australia and New Zealand (ARMCANZ), the Australia New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC) and the Ministerial Council on Forestry, Fisheries and Aquaculture (MCFFA).
