SBR leadership changes

Paul Madden, Program Director of SBR, has been appointed as a Deputy Secretary with the Department of Health and Ageing.

Greg Divall, who has been the SBR Program Manager for over two years, will continue to manage Australia’s SBR program in partnership with business, reporting professionals, software developers and participating Australian, state and territory government agencies.  There are also very credible SBR operational support teams operating within the ATO that are geared for support, performance and availability. All other agencies have support processes to deal with incoming reports from SBR.

Under Paul’s leadership, Australia’s SBR solution moved from concept – to reality.  He ensured SBR was designed, built and delivered on time, within budget, and in a manner that involved extensive consultation with SBR stakeholders located across Australia and beyond to ensure it met the needs of both its users and software developers that would support it.

Paul leaves SBR on 3 December 2010, hands to Greg, the task of sustaining what the SBR program has delivered so far, gaining the required take-up levels, and developing approaches to expand SBR for other agency reporting requirements.  SBR will continue to be governed by the SBR Steering Group and Board.
