The environment scan (Escan) is one mechanism used by Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) to understand the skill needs within IBSA's industry sectors. 

IBSA's industry sector coverage comprises many enabling skills that are relevant to a wide range of industries. The Escan is consequently an important component of IBSA's intelligence gathering and advice processes.

This is the second year in which the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) has required Industry Skills Councils (ISCs) to prepare an Escan.

IBSA has also sought to further enhance the Escan to ensure it is a deep, thorough and substantive research and advice document.
