The NDIA today announced that Graeme Head will be the new CEO of the NDIA.
If that name sounds familiar to you, it’s because Mr Head was the inaugural NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Commissioner between 2018 and 2021. It seems NDIS leadership has morphed into a sitcom with a limited cast of recurring characters.
More recently, Mr Head was the Secretary of NSW’s Department of Customer Service. He was also previously NSW’s Public Services Commissioner.
Hopefully, his extensive experience in public policy has prepared him for what, if we’re being honest, must be one of the most challenging jobs in the Australian public service.
In July, former NDIA CEO Rebecca Falkingham announced she was taking personal leave due to illness. Ms Falkingham has been receiving treatment for stage 3 breast cancer. Deputy CEO Scott McNaughton has been serving as acting CEO since her departure in July.
