AFTA on job hunt

After two years on the job, AFTA has bid farewell to David Tooze, Compliance Manager and has already begun a recruitment process to find his replacement.

Tooze joined the team during the implementation of ATAS and managed all things compliance as well as settling standard operating procedures for ATAS.

Coming from a NSW Government background, is said to be returning to the sector in a senior role working for Transport for NSW.

“David has been an outstanding compliance manager for AFTA and ATAS over the last few years and we have really enjoyed having him as an important part of our team and indeed the history of AFTA,” AFTA ceo, Jayson Westbury said.

“We wish David every success in his future career and would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his time with us, he will be missed.”

Further to the one-year review of ATAS, AFTA board announced the appointment of Steven Heller to the position of Chairman of the ACCMC. Heller will take up the position with immediate effect for a term of two years. Heller has been acting in the role during the review process.

“Steve Heller has shown us that his ability to be independent and contribute to the ACCMC is immense and we are very pleased that he has accepted the role for the next two years,” Westbury said.

The ACCMC continues to be the committee that reviews the role of the ATAS Charter and Code of Conduct and hears any appeals of complaints against a participant.
