Today I announce that my Chief of Staff, Amanda Lampe, has resigned and will be replaced by Ben Hubbard.
Amanda's personal circumstances have changed and she has decided to move on. She will leave at the end of March, allowing for a 2-month transition period.
I wish to thank Amanda for her significant leadership during her time as my Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister's Office and the Deputy Prime Minister's Office.
Amanda's extensive experience and skills have been invaluable and I wish her and her family the best for the future.
Mr Hubbard has accepted my offer to become my Chief of Staff and will begin on Monday, 7 February.
He brings significant public administration, stakeholder and management experience to the role.
He is the outgoing Chief Executive Officer of the Victoria Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority and has previously served as my Chief of Staff when I was Deputy Opposition Leader and Deputy Prime Minister.
