  • Proven ability in establishing and promoting best practice data governance and management policies, in alignment with contemporary best practices adopted by Commonwealth agencies and leading statistical bodies, such as the ABS, and encompassing critical areas including data usage, retention, and the processes governing decision-making related to the use and provision of data.
