The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) is a member-based not-for-profit industry council. ISCA is the peak industry body for advancing sustainability outcomes in infrastructure. ISCA’s mission is to improve the productivity & liveability of industry & communities through sustainability in infrastructure.

IS evaluates the sustainability performance (including environmental, social, economic and governance aspects) of infrastructure projects and assets. Having identified over the last four years international interest in IS and its application, ISCA is now at an exciting time of development and has recently launched IS International.
