As part of the Trans - Tasman Business Circle’s long-standing Public Sector – Private Sector Engagement Series, we are honoured to host Rob Heferen, Commissioner of Taxation, for an exclusive private event in Canberra. Rob will share his strategic vision for the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and discuss the evolving role of tax policy and digital public services in supporting economic resilience and public trust.

Drawing on his extensive leadership across tax, health, education, Indigenous affairs, and energy, Rob will offer a unique perspective on the future of public sector delivery and the challenges of modernising public institutions.

This briefing will explore themes such as:

• Transforming Tax Policy for the Future – Supporting fairness, innovation, and resilience through modern tax frameworks.
• The Future of Digital Government Services – Leveraging technology to streamline ATO services and improve citizen engagement.
• Public Sector Leadership in Challenging Times – Navigating complexity with authenticity, collaboration, and reform-focused leadership.

This event provides a unique forum for peer-level discussion, knowledge exchange, and cross-sector insights with one of Australia’s most experienced public servants.
