New appointments to Sydney Harbour Federation Trust
The Hon Sussan Ley MP
Minister for the Environment
The Morrison Government has announced two new Board members for the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust reflecting the importance of the Indigenous heritage of the sites, as well as the wider significance of the Harbour Trust to greater Sydney.
Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said following the Morrison Government’s steps to ensure the ongoing future of the Harbour Trust in administering former Commonwealth defence sites such as Cockatoo Island, Headland Park and Sub Base Platypus, it was important to also ensure the Board brought together the right diversity of skillsets to plan for the future.
“I am pleased to announce that Tanya Denning-Orman, Director of Indigenous Content at SBS will join the Board along with City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Steven Issa,” Minister Ley said.
“Tanya brings a wealth of communications and broadcast experience to the Board and a strong understanding of Indigenous story telling.
“Steven’s appointment reflects the importance of local government perspectives in Heritage planning and place making.
“This is a unique time of opportunity for the Harbour Trust as it undertakes long-term master planning for Cockatoo Island and North Head Sanctuary, and it is important the right mix of Board and Management experience is in place to deliver the best possible outcomes.”

So we have the Lord Mayor Of The City of Parramatta taking up extra roles while being the ADHA Chief Digital Officer. Who knew? I reckon a more focused role might be appropriate although I have always wondered just what a Chief Digital Officer actually does.
What do you think? A bit too much distraction from your main job or fine?
David.
Issa, probably doesn't have much to keep himself busy with at ADHA
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should have been working on some of this, rather than looking for something else to do. November has been and gone.
ReplyDeleteDigital Health Agency says My Health Record risk mitigation work on-trackhttps://www.zdnet.com/article/digital-health-agency-says-my-health-record-risk-mitigation-work-on-track/
One of the recommendations made by ANAO was that ADHA conduct an end-to-end privacy risk assessment of the operation of the My Health Record system under the opt-out model, including shared risks and mitigation controls. It also recommended for the agency to incorporate the results of this assessment into the risk management framework for the My Health Record system.
The agency said it would work with public and private sector healthcare providers, professional associations, consumer groups, and medical indemnity insurers on an "overarching privacy risk assessment", and incorporate results into the risk management plan for My Health Record.
With a privacy risk assessment completed in September, and initial risk register updates flagged as done as of February, the ADHA has given itself until November to complete the risk management work.
Another recommendation was that the ADHA, with the Department of Health and in consultation with the Information Commissioner, review the adequacy of its approach and procedures for monitoring use of the emergency access function within the online medical file.
After delivering a compliance framework and an emergency access compliance plan in February, the ADHA said it will continue to monitor emergency access and engage with system participants to "promote a sound understanding of the legislative provision and relevant reporting arrangements, so that unauthorised use is recognised and reported to the Information Commissioner, as required".
It also flagged November as completion date for this work
He would be on $300k+ from ADHA. The place is a mess and must be questionable - are you suppose to be public servants in Federal agencies?
ReplyDeleteExplains a lot.
ReplyDeletePretty standard practice at ADHA. Under Bettina it became a drop in centre and expense account. Most seniors figures where moonlighting, they saw them selves as “strategic advisors” which in reality meant they were barriers to success and used process levers to keep everything muddled. Not to different now.
ReplyDeleteIt may prove that the could care less approach from ADHA proves the most beneficial. The fact nothing has progressed means unwinding it or replacing it will be far cheaper
