It was formed in 2003, with the support of 21 Islamic societies; 10 new societies and 11 transferring from the Supreme Islamic Council of NSW. It replaced the Supreme Islamic Council, which had replaced the Islamic Council of NSW, as a member of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC). It represented AFIC in the state of New South Wales.
In May 2006, the council, along with the Islamic Council of Victoria, came into conflict with AFIC, claiming that voting for the AFIC board members had not adhered to its constitution.
