About AIIL.
The Australian Institute of Innovation & Leadership (AIIL) is a nationally recognised Registered Training Organisation (RTO 46223) under the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). We’re committed to empowering Australians through practical, interactive and industry-relevant accredited training.
Our programs are designed to give you more than just a certificate - they’re built around YOU and YOUR goals. Whether you’re just starting out or already running a business, you’ll build real plans, gain valuable knowledge and develop leadership skills you can apply right away. Along the way, you’ll learn from experienced mentors, connect with like-minded peers and build the confidence to lead - in business, at work and in life.
All assignments are based on your own business or idea - no generic case studies or made-up scenarios. We believe you’ll get far more out of your learning experience when you’re working on something real, something that’s yours.
We combine self-paced online learning with small group mentoring and community-based events, ensuring every student is supported with both theory and practical skills.
We bridge the gap between traditional education and the real world.

Our Advisor & Ambassador.
Steve Baxter's success story is an inspiring example of how determination and hard work can lead to success in the world of entrepreneurship. From his humble beginnings in the military, Baxter went on to start and successfully exit several small businesses in the communications industry.
In 2001, he co-founded PIPE Networks, which grew into one of Australia's largest broadband networks. The company was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2005 and in 2010, was acquired for $373 million. This exit marked a significant milestone in Baxter's career and cemented his position as one of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs.
Baxter's entrepreneurial expertise has also extended to his work as an investor on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank. His ability to identify promising business ideas and provide support and investment has helped many entrepreneurs achieve success. Despite his achievements, Baxter remains humble and committed to supporting all Australians!
As part of his role at AIIL, Steve shares exclusive video insights in every unit and hosts quarterly small group mentoring sessions with students - bringing real-world advice and genuine support to your learning journey.
