At the time of its closure, the Collections Council had a team of three full-time staff members and three casual (and part-time) staff who worked as the Council’s Secretariat and administered the Council’s activities through to 30 April 2010.

Each staff member had had previous connections with the collections sector. All brought to the Secretariat a range of valuable experiences gathered through a mix of paid and voluntary work.

The Collections Council's Secretariat was located in Adelaide where the office was leased from the Libraries Board of South Australia.
