SENATOR THE HON PENNY WONG
LEADER OF THE GOVERNMENT IN THE SENATE

Today I announce the appointments of four experienced career officials to lead Australia’s posts in Singapore, Ukraine, Lebanon and Israel.

I am pleased to confirm the following appointments:

Ms Robyn Mudie as Australia’s next High Commissioner to Singapore

Mr Geoff Bowan as Australia’s next Ambassador to Ukraine

Australia's diplomatic network enables us to promote our interests in peace, security, trade, investment and other areas of cooperation.

Australia’s relationships with our partners will be deepened through these appointments, building our connections abroad and increasing our ability to influence where it matters.

I thank the outgoing High Commissioner and Ambassadors for their important contributions to Australian diplomacy.
