COOMBS REPORT RECEIVED
Th report of the Royal C~ mmission on Australian Government
Administration has been transmitted to His Excellency the
Governor-General and received by the Go rernment. The report
will be released as soon as a supply of printed copies is
available. The Royal Commigs'ion, chaired by Dr H. C. Coombs, has made a
comprehensive review of the working of the Commonwealth
administration and has submitted a wide ranging set of
recommendat ions.
The Royal Commission, which was appointed in June 1974, was
the first comprehensive inquiry into the Federal Public Service
for more than fifty years. The Government will study carefully
and give thorough consideration to over 300 recommendations
made by the Royal Commission on the principles for more efficient
administration. I pay tribute to the dedication of the five Commissioners
Dr Coombs, Mr P. H. Bailey, Professor Enid Campbell,
Mr Deputy President Isaac and Mr P. Munro to their task.
The Government is grateful -for their contribution to such
an important field of study.
