engagement with ministerial offices.
I find the quality of DFATs materials

Big kudos to DFAT's multimedia team, Speechwriting team, to MLS and to the Smartraveller teams for their hard work and responsiveness.
DFAT always works tirelessly in Australia's interests. A clearer sense of overarching purpose and strategy, and articulating how the work of individual
teams fit within that overarching purpose and strategy, would help focus the work of the Department and assess performance.
