Background and early life

David Rosalky was born in Sydney on 26 May 1946.[1]

Career

Rosalky began his Australian Public Service career in the Department of Defence.[2]

From 1978 to 1980, Rosalky was a senior advisor in the economic division of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.[2] Between 1980 and 1983, Rosalky was Senior Private Secretary to Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser.[3] Media reported that their sources told them Rosalky had not applied for his new position but had rather been asked to take it.[4]

In September 1992 Rosalky was appointed ACT Under-Treasurer.[5] In July 1994 he was appointed Secretary of the ACT Government Chief Minister's Department.[6][7]

Rosalky was appointed to his first Australian Government Secretary role in 1995, as head of the Department of Industrial Relations (later Department of Workplace Relations and Small Business.[3][8] His move back to the federal public service was reportedly engineered within three days.[9]

Prime Minister John Howard shifted Rosalky from the Department of Workplace Relations and Small Business to a new role as head of the Department of Social Security in early 1998.[10] Later that year, the Department was transitioned to become the Department of Family and Community Services (FaCS) and it grew to take on functions from other departments and agencies.[3]

Rosalky retired from the public service in 2001, announcing his departure from the service while FaCS was in caretaker mode prior to the 2001 federal election.[11]
