According to Queensland’s Director-General, Mr Andrew Garner, Mr Mills’ experience will deliver leadership for a new team, as the state moves forward on its revitalised ICT strategy.
Among his contributions, Mr Mills helped streamline information management and open data initiatives in South Australia. An open data approach, together with improving frontline services, underscores a successful ICT Strategy during 2013-2017.
Similarly, Queensland’s ICT focuses is to transform public services, especially a cost-effective use of technology across government. These reforms favour focused customer service delivery, an open government platform, and industry engagement.
In an official statement, Mr Mills noted that he is looking forward to working with the Queensland government. “I’m happy to have this role and I am enthusiastic to be working in Queensland.”
Mr Mills brings extensive experience across the state and Australian government, mostly in senior management roles. Bulk of his career is in management roles, predominantly information management, information technology and telecommunications.
