Provide effective and timely high-level advice to the Department, the ABARES Executive, and other stakeholder agencies and organisations.
Provide strategic leadership to the program, build research and analysis capability, guide and mentor staff.
Build and maintain partnerships and ensure effective communication and consultation with key stakeholders in ABARES, the Department and the broader research community.
