Fiona Roche

Fiona Roche, a well-respected and experienced public sector executive, has been appointed permanently to the Executive Director of the Office of Science role. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and a Master of Commerce, and has previously lectured at Curtin University.

Fiona has a long history of working in the government sector, particularly in central agencies with a policy coordination role. She has previously worked in senior roles in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, so her move to Science is a return to the department.

Fiona’s recent background has involved a focus on governance, integrity and diversity, and she is very much looking forward to working in the science portfolio. Her most recent role has been working with the Public Sector Commissioner, Mal Wauchope, as one of his Deputy Commissioners.
