Max Gillard

Max’s APS career of over 37 years was mainly with the Commonwealth Treasury. Overthat period, Max performed a number of roles in human resources and corporate support, including recruitment, workforce planning, employment conditions, training and development, employee welfare and the broad range of general employment casework.

Max had a key role in assisting Treasury navigate the transition from central control to agency responsibility in the field of industrial relations.  He was closely involved in designing and implementing Treasury’s framework of workplace agreements, including five certified/collective agreements and individual Australian workplace agreements.  Closely aligned to the agreement framework were the models for remuneration and rewards.

Max also played a major part in the introduction, development and review of Treasury’s performance management system, which has been acknowledged as a best practice example of its type.

To link those important systems, Max developed and maintained the range of internal policies and guidelines that underpin the human resources framework in the organisation.

Additionally, Max was part of the panel of Merit Protection Commissioner’s representatives on Promotion Review Committees and Selection Advisory Committees.  With that exposure to other agencies’ activities and his close contacts in the APS Workplace Relations Network, Max offers a wide background in the delivery of traditional human resources services, as well as proven hands-on experience in the contemporary industrial relations field.

More recently, Max completed a task with the Department of Climate Change, where he drafted and implemented the new agency’s first collective agreement and the supporting policies and guidelines.

Development of human resource management and related policies and guidelines;
