Chief Minister Natasha Fyles has today announced Dr Frank Daly as the new CEO of the Department of Chief Minister and Cabinet.

With more than 30 years of experience in both public and private sector roles, including more than 10 years in senior executive roles in the Australian public sector, Dr Daly is equipped to lead one of the Territory’s key departments.

Dr Daly was appointed as the CEO of NT Health in May 2021, and played a pivotal role in guiding the Northern Territory’s health system through the COVID-19 pandemic, while also protecting jobs and making sure Territorians could work safely.

Working alongside the Territory’s Investment, Infrastructure and Major Project Commissioners, Dr Daly will oversee the Northern Territory’s future economic growth as we continue to build our $40 billion economy, while also making sure our social issues continue to be addressed.

Interim CM&C CEO Kathleen Robinson will be taking the opportunity for extended leave to spend time with her family.

Dr Marco Briceno, the current NT Health Chief Medical Officer, will act as the Chief Executive Officer of NT Health while a recruitment process commences to backfill Dr Daly.

Quotes attributed to Chief Minister Natasha Fyles:

“Dr Daly’s career has focused on leading departments through difficult situations – his decades of experience will be an asset to the Territory, as we continue to grow our economy and make sure we continue to address the social needs of our vulnerable Territorians.

“Dr Daly comes into the role following an extensive recruitment process.

“I thank Kathleen Robinson for acting as the Chief Executive over the past few months, and leading the Department of Chief Minister and Cabinet, a true Territorian who gets the job done.”
