Robert Setter
Associate Director-General
Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries
Robert was appointed as Deputy Director-General of the former Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) in November 2004, from his previous role as General Manager, Planning and Purchasing, Department of Employment and Training.
With extensive experience in creating links between the public and private sectors in Queensland, Robert’s major responsibility is to ensure that the Queensland Government's investment in Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries (QPIF) is aligned to both government and industry priorities, and delivers value for money.
In 2006-07 Robert was the driving force in achieving transparency of government's investment in products and services for agribusiness and agriculture. A major focus this year has been to improve QPIF’s performance management framework in line with whole-of-government recommendations from the Service Delivery and Performance Commission and the Queensland Audit Office.
As Associate Director-General, Robert’s vision to revitalise QPIF's service delivery framework is transforming the way QPIF works. The Fresh Approach initiative will:
- build skills for Queenslanders and QPIF’s workforce
- attract investment into agricultural science
- network and modernise agri-business services to meet the changing needs of clients
