The leadership read
Services Australia is resourcing ahead of a step-change, not backfilling. A build-out like this concentrates senior bench strength in the sector where the mandate is strongest. Watch the mix of the hires across Oceania; that is the clearest read on the plan behind the headcount.
“And I also expressed my disappointment that it took the company way too long to inform the government what had occurred”
