This is, I understand, the largest Manion Lecture in its distinguished history. There are something like 900 of you here tonight and many more hundreds online, and there will be an audience that lives on in the program being recorded and recaptured. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the School and I want to congratulate and thank them in advance.

Let me start with congratulating the new ADMs or ADM-equivalents in the room. I signed 68 certificates and letters the other day. It’s an impressive number, almost a quarter of the community, and it is a remarkable personal achievement for each and every one of you. Please join me in congratulating them.

Since becoming Clerk and building on the work on my predecessors, I have made improving mental health and workplace wellness across the Public Service a priority and I believe we are making real progress. Some of the ways we are doing this is through the creation of the Federal Public Service Workplace Mental Health Strategy and the development of the Centre of Expertise on Mental Health in the Workplace.

As a country and as a public service, we are on a journey where diversity is not enough. In fact, diversity is a foundation where it is important to be representative and inclusive. Diversity without inclusion isn’t going to get us where we want to be as a country. The really important part is the inclusion, which means everybody feels they are heard, their ideas and worth are valued and they are part of conversations shaping policy, services, workplace, well-being, etc.
