Prepare highlevel issues briefs, authoritative policy papers, and comprehensive reports on complex issues within a multidisciplinary environment, for the Minister and senior departmental officers.

Monitor government inquiries and consultation processes that relate to CCS, carbon abatement technologies related to CCS solutions, sectors that impact upon CCS or CarbonNet operations (eg offshore wind developments). Coordinate and lead drafting of submissions and responses, navigating the ambiguity, formulating innovative and workable solutions, and supporting informed decision making in a complex environment.
