Multiple outlets report that Public Sector Commissioner David Mackie is being appointed as the department chief for Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie as part of a broader Department of Government Services/departmental structure shake-up involving senior public service appointments. The reports are aligned in identifying Mackie as the new senior departmental head and Bleijie as the ministerial counterpart for the role. Each source also frames the move as occurring amid an ongoing “DG shake-up,” suggesting changes to top public sector leadership positions rather than an isolated appointment. The articles do not provide additional detail beyond the core appointment, such as the department name, start date, or specific responsibilities, but they consistently state that Mackie will take up the chief position linked to Bleijie’s portfolio. Taken together, the coverage indicates a coordinated personnel change at the department chief level within the public sector, with Mackie moving into a key leadership role supporting the Deputy Premier.
