Oversight roles include supporting the delivery of major infrastructure works such as Snowy Hydro 2.0 or the Inland Rail Program, regulatory compliance of government entities such as through NBN Co or Australia Post, supporting Australia’s national security objectives by oversighting the entities’ delivery of major Defence capability projects and establishing a new joint entity to deliver the Marinus Link project.

For example, there are opportunities to work closely to develop and implement major Government Policy priorities such as the AUKUS trilateral partnership and the acquisition of conventionally-armed nuclear-powered submarines, Net Zero and renewable energy policy, and supporting the development and implementation of scoping studies and reviews, such as the Inland Rail Review, by providing quality advice to Commonwealth agencies and to Government.
