Michael Drake, former Lieutenant Commander, Royal Australian Navy

Michael now works for the NSW Government as Director for the Centre for Maritime Safety. As part of Transport for NSW, the Centre for Maritime Safety works collaboratively with operational government agency Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), and is responsible for evidence-based strategy, policy, and awareness campaigns, and key stakeholder relations for the NSW Government's maritime program.

What attracted me to working with the government was the variety of work the government does. It's about making people's lives easier.
