Australian Defence Force CIO Patrick Hannan has been headhunted for the role of Victorian CIO, while former Victorian Department of Human Services Information Services Branch executive officer Tony Aitkenhead has been appointed CTO.
No other state has either a CTO or a CIO. The government allocated $33.3 million in funding in this year's budget on the creation of the Office of the CIO.
The role will be responsible for overall eGovernment policy, internal government ICT policy and architecture and implementing a whole-of-government IT strategy.
The CTO, who will work from the Department of Infrastructure, will oversee the delivery and administration of shared ICT initiatives, such as the Telecommunications Purchasing and Management Strategy (TPAMS) and purchasing.
Mr Hannan will start in his new role on December 8, and Mr Aitkenhead's first day will be December 1.
