BackThe office of the Ombudsman is very pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. David Robinson to the position of Deputy Ombudsman. Mr Robinson has previously served as the Acting CEO and Director Operations over a period of 8 years employment with the Corruption and Crime Commission. He is currently Deputy Director General, People, Culture and Standards in the Department of Justice. His commencement date will be Monday 19 February 2024 for a five-year term (the term provided for in the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1971).
“I am simply delighted that someone of Mr Robinson’s extensive expertise and vast experience will take on this senior statutory role within the office of the Ombudsman. The institution of the Ombudsman has a vital role to play in protecting and promoting the rule of law, good governance and human rights. Mr Robinson is rightly very highly regarded within Western Australia, and he will be a champion of these great principles” said the Ombudsman, Chris Field PSM.
The office also recognises Ms Mary White, who has retired from the role of Deputy Ombudsman after two terms and ten years, and a total period of service to the Office of 17 years.
“Ms White brought a prodigious work ethic, deeply thoughtful and caring approach to all of her work. Her innumerable legacies include establishing a reportable conduct scheme to protect children in Western Australia from harm” said the Ombudsman. “I thank her for her service to Parliament and the great State of Western Australia.”
