Each team consists of a Senior Manager, Team Leader, Principal Consultant, Senior Consultants, Senior Assessors and support staff. The Strategy and Operations team provide policy, compliance, monitoring and business support across all three schemes.
The Strategy and Operations function is responsible for strategic planning, policy and procedures, financial management, performance reporting, communications, stakeholder engagement and resource management to ensure efficient administration of multiple redress schemes.
