In a career spanning around 40 years in a range of Australian Government agencies, David most recently was CEO of the Australian Bureau of Statistics and previously the CEO of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, preceded by senior roles across social and economic policy agencies. He has also had two engagements in the Employment and Social Affairs area of the OECD, and as a Chief of Staff to a Commonwealth Government cabinet minister.
