Secretary Davis farewell

After three years of leadership, we bid farewell to our Secretary, Professor Glyn Davis AC, as he said goodbye to PM&C last Friday.

Professor Davis has overseen countless projects and initiatives during his time as the head of the Australian Public Service, including supporting important taskforces from the NDIS to myGov, to helping plan a Future Made in Australia and implementing the Net Zero Economy Authority.

Thank you, Professor Davis for leading with integrity and courage, and for embodying the spirit of public service in all that you do.
