An historic structural change was approved at the National Special General Meeting of Printing Industries Association of Australia (Printing Industries) in May 2010. This was followed by similar meetings in all states endorsing the changes. Members approved the creation of a new national management structure to replace the existing two tiered state and national structures. The constitutional changes are aimed at re-energising the management and decision making process, and creating a Board environment encouraging a more focused industry participation.

A new nine-member Board replaces the existing 15-member National Council with each state, including the ACT, having one representative on the Board elected by the membership of that state with two members elected from the membership at large, regardless of what state they come from. Standing committees are being established to deal with local matters.
