Today I am pleased to announce the appointment of Rachelle Jackson to lead an Australian diplomatic post in Canada.
Ms Jackson has been appointed to the role of Consul-General and Trade and Investment Commissioner in Toronto, Canada.
Ms Jackson has a wealth of experience in trade and investment policy having held multiple leadership roles at Austrade in Melbourne and Sydney, and as a Trade Commissioner in New York and San Francisco.
Her appointment underscores the importance of Australia's relationship with Canada, and will advance our trade and diplomatic interests, and drive opportunities for a continued and strong bilateral trading relationship.
I congratulate Ms Jackson on her well-deserved appointment.
I thank the outgoing Consul-General and Trade Commissioner Josh Riley for his time and successful efforts in the role.
