Australian Government, Department of Employment, Education and Workplace RelationsPart 3 - Management and Accountability
Corporate governance
Executive committees
The Executive Meeting is the key decision-making body for the department. This meeting operates in three different streams:
- organisational stream—supports and monitors the business
- strategic linkages stream—discusses forward-looking policy and business linkages
- business stream—implements policy discussions and manages the business.
Several committees and subcommittees under each stream achieve the department’s corporate objectives and promote the efficient use of resources across the department. The meeting values the consultative process, but recognises that overall accountability rests with the Secretary who has primary authority and legal responsibility for the management of the department. In exercising its functions, the meeting promotes the core principles of good public sector governance, accountability, transparency, integrity, stewardship, efficiency, leadership and risk management.
(L to R): Malisa Golightly, Graham Carters, Lisa Paul, John Kovacic, Finn Pratt, Craig Storen, Wendy Jarvie. Inset: Bill Burmester, Jim Davidson. Absent: Grahame Cook (Rtd)
