Education and career

Attending Flinders University, Jarvie was awarded her PhD in Geography in 1984.[1] After completing her PhD, Jarvie joined the Australian Public Service in the Bureau of Labour Market Research.

Between 2001 and 2007, Wendy Jarvie was a Deputy Secretary at the Department of Education, Science and Training, staying in the role when the department transitioned to become the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.[2] During her time at DEST, Jarvie was involved with, among other things, policy behind Australia's Vocational and Technical Education System.[3] Jarvie left the Australian Public Service in 2008.[2]

In addition she worked for three years in the World Bank in Washington (1998-2001), initially in the Operations Evaluation Department where she was a manager of corporate evaluations and evaluation methods, and later in Operations and Country Strategies where she worked on small states issues, and managed a taskforce on Bank strategies for middle income countries.

In 2010, while a visiting professor at the University of New South Wales, Jarvie spoke on implementing and sustaining reforms in Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.[4]

In 2012, Jarvie was appointed to be a member of the AusAID Independent Evaluation Committee.[5]
