System Roles
To strengthen leadership across the system, secretaries, and chief executives also hold additional roles to lead and co-ordinate best practice in particular areas of the Public Service on behalf of the team. The purpose of these roles is to ensure sufficient alignment where there are commonalities across agencies, better organise the system around shared priorities and services and help the Public Service operate as a unified whole.
These roles include:
system leads designated under the Public Service Act 2020
