The Queensland Government has appointed Natalie Wilde as Director-General for the Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism.
Wilde has more than 23 years’ experience in the Queensland public service sector and 12 years at a senior executive level. She has extensive experience in developing and implementing policy reforms, particularly in areas related to economic and regional development, infrastructure, property, and land use planning.
She is currently the Deputy Director-General, strategy, insights, and advisory for the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning. Prior to that, Wilde was the Deputy Director-General for the Local Government Division with the former Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning.
The Queensland Government has appointed Wilde, along with three other new Director-Generals to lead key departments across the state’s public sector, following an advertised recruitment and selection process.
These appointments complement the existing group of Chief Executives, with the CEO leadership group comprising a mix of experienced public sector leaders from Queensland and interstate.
Premier David Crisafulli says these new appointments are an important part of delivering a “fresh start for Queensland”.
“They will be instrumental in delivering the programs and services our government promised Queenslanders at the election,” Crisafulli says.
Sharon Schimming has been appointed as Director-General for the Department of Education, Belinda Drew has been appointed for the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, and Sarah Cruikshank has been appointed for the Department of Justice.
