I am pleased to announce that the Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC has today appointed Mr Daryl Quinlivan as Secretary of the Department of Agriculture for a period of five years.

Mr Quinlivan has most recently been the Head of Office at the Productivity Commission. He was Deputy Secretary of the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy between 2011 and 2013 and was a Deputy Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry between 2005 and 2010.

He brings considerable public sector experience and expertise to this position and I congratulate him on his appointment.
