Dear Registered Migration Agents
I am writing to let you know that after four and a half years with the Office of the MARA, I will be moving on at the end of January 2014.
I have decided to take up a new opportunity in the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s Portfolio Coordination and Innovation Group in Canberra.
The position of Chief Executive Officer of the Office of the MARA will be undertaken by Steve Ingram from 3 February 2014. Some of you may have met Steve in his current role as Regional Manager East, Status Resolution Services based in Sydney.
I wish you all the very best for the future and encourage you to continue on with your many efforts to improve your collective professionalism. Whilst there is always room for improvement, I believe substantial progress has been made. Through good will and collaboration, I am confident this will continue.
Seasons’ Greetings
Stephen Wood
Office of the MARA
