About Terry Moran AO
Mr Terry Moran commenced his appointment as Secretary, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in March 2008.
Mr Moran has had a varied career as a public servant, working with successive Australian Federal and State governments, with roles in public policy and public sector management.
Mr Moran was made an Officer of the Order of Australia on 12 June 2006 in recognition of his service to public sector leadership in key policy areas, including his contribution in the field of technical and further education at both state and national levels.
He was Chief Executive of the Office of the State Training Board in Victoria from late 1987 until May 1993. In May 1993, he was appointed as the first Chief Executive Officer of the Australian National Training Authority. In August 1998, he became Director-General of Education Queensland.
Mr Moran was subsequently appointed Secretary of the Department of Premier and Cabinet for the State of Victoria in July 2000 and held this position until his appointment as Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
In Victoria, Mr Moran advised the Premier and Cabinet on the development of major policy initiatives, including the overarching social, economic and environmental policy platform for Victoria, known as Growing Victoria Together, and the major social policy statement, entitled A Fairer Victoria. He also took the leading role in the development of a new National Reform Agenda, which was first agreed by COAG in March 2008.
In his current role, he is working in collaboration with Australian Governments to progress implementation of the COAG reform agenda. The agenda aims to improve productivity and workforce participation through six major National Agreements and various National Partnership Agreements in the areas of healthcare, education, skills and workforce development, disability services, affordable housing, and Indigenous reform.
In 2008 and 2009, Mr Moran worked closely with his colleagues, as well as the Prime Minister and senior Ministers, on the formation of the economic stimulus plan to help Australia weather the worst of the global financial crisis. He was instrumental in establishing the new governance arrangements agreed by COAG to implement and monitor the Government’s stimulus plan, primarily through setting up the Office of the Coordinator General in the PM&C portfolio.
Mr Moran has a strong interest in public policy capacity. As Secretary of the Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet he advised the Victorian Government in relation to public sector reform initiatives which led to the rewriting of legislation and the establishment of the Victorian State Services Authority in 2005. He also led the establishment of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) in 2003 – a joint initiative by six governments and ten universities; the Grattan Institute – the largest think tank for domestic policy in Australia; the Wheeler Centre: Books, Writing, Ideas - a centre dedicated to the discussion and practice of writing and ideas. More recently he has been actively involved in establishing the new Australian National Institute for Public Policy - reflecting a new partnership between the public service, ANZSOG and the ANU.
Mr Moran recently chaired the Advisory Group on the Reform of Australian Government Administration which developed a comprehensive blueprint for reform of the Australian Public Service. The recommendations of the blueprint were accepted in full by Government on 8 May 2010.
Mr Moran is a member of the Australian National University Crawford School Advisory Council, the Melbourne Forum, the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on the future of Australia, is a director at the Cranlana Programme and serves on the Grattan Institute Board. He also maintains a keen interest and involvement in the arts and culture.
