Senior Fair Work roles go to Lee and Wilson
Senior Victorian public servant Tim Lee will be Fair Work Australia's inaugural general manager and Nick Wilson will be the Fair Work Ombudsman, the Federal Government announced this afternoon.
Acting Workplace Relations Minister Mark Arbib says Lee, currently the Victorian Justice Department's executive director of community operations and strategy, will take up his appointment on July 27.
"As general manager of Fair Work Australia, Mr Lee will assist FWA President, the Hon Justice Giudice, to ensure that Fair Work Australia performs its functions and exercises its powers in accordance with the Fair Work Act 2009", he says in a statement.
Before taking up his job in Justice, Lee was a deputy secretary in IR Victoria/Workforce Victoria, after five years as IR director in the Victorian Department of Human Services (see Related Article).
He has also been a national official of the ASU and a Victorian ministerial advisor.
Wilson has been the Workplace Ombudsman (and its predecessor position) since April 2006 (see Related Article) and before that was the Industrial Registrar for four years.
He will take up the new position on July 1.
Arbib says Wilson "will be responsible for promoting harmonious, productive and cooperative workplace relations and compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009".
Lee and Wilson "will work closely together to ensure workplace services and operations in the new system are provided in a modern, accessible, responsive and streamlined manner", he says.
