PPSAC considers issues relating to Professional Programs and Services and provides advice and recommendations to the Minister on the:
- funding of the projects and management responsibilities for Professional Programs and Services;
- development of policy objectives, eligibility criteria and performance outcome measures for Professional Programs and Services; and

The Minister makes decisions on projects to be funded under Professional Programs and Services.
The Committee will operate for the period of the Fourth Agreement (ie until 30 June 2010).
PPSAC meets at regular intervals. PPSAC met for the first time in March 2006. More detailed information is available on PPSAC meeting outcomes.
