His work connects strongly with industry and all levels of government, as demonstrated by his recent appointment by the Hon. Alex Hawke, Federal Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, to the Australian Government’s Ministerial Advisory Council for Skilled Migration (MACSM).
