The Turnbull government has appointed Sandra Parker as Australian’s new Fair Work Ombudsman. Ms Parker was elected through a merit-based selection process and she will replace Natalie James who previously served as the ombudsman for five years. With over years of experience in her roles as both the deputy secretary at the Department of Jobs and Small Businesses and a public sector official, the appointment of Ms Parker is a welcome change to the Fair Work Ombudsman.
