The Australian Government welcomes the appointment of Ms Annastacia Palaszczuk as a non-executive Director to the Australia Post Board for a three-year term.
Ms Palaszczuk was the Premier of Queensland from 2015 to 2023 and held various Ministerial roles in the Queensland Government including Minister for Trade and Minister for Transport.
She brings extensive knowledge of government relations, working constructively with states, territories and local councils, service delivery to regional and rural communities, and experience in transformation and logistics as Queensland Premier during the COVID pandemic.
Ms Palaszczuk's experience is highly applicable in guiding Australia Post's critical work with government on modernisation reforms over the coming years.
Ms Palaszczuk fills the vacancy left by Mr Tony Nutt AO, who completed his two terms as a non-executive director.
The Government thanks Mr Nutt for his contribution and looks forward to working with Ms Palaszczuk and the rest of the Board to implement the modernisation strategy.
