The Indigenous Advisory Council is an advisory board, its type classified as "Ministerial Councils and Related Bodies including those Established by the COAG".<ref name=directory/> Its terms of reference were outlined at the first meeting, with its purpose stated as "to provide advice to the Government on Indigenous affairs, and will focus on practical changes to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people". Its size was set at 12 people, comprising both [[Indigenous Australians|Indigenous]] and non-Indigenous Australians, who would meet three times each year.<ref name=first/>

[[Malcolm Turnbull]], who became Prime Minister in 2015, established the Indigenous Policy Committee of Cabinet in 2016, to "support better engagement with Cabinet Ministers, their portfolios and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including through collaboration with the Indigenous Advisory Council".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> He temporarily suspended the IAC at the end of January 2017,<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> with its initial terms of reference being wound up on that date.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
