Other Federal Appointments
Since the federal election was called on 28 March, the Australian Government remains in a caretaker period in the lead-up to the election on 3 May. Until a new government is sworn in, government operations are conducted in accordance with the caretaker conventions, and there will likely be few appointments to key federal agencies.
