The ATO disclosed documents relating to its 2024 Senior Executive Service (SES) Conference held at the Hyatt in Canberra, a 1.5-day event attended by all SES staff—the first such gathering since 2022. The conference cost $153,952.11 (including GST), equating to $660.74 per person, representing a minimal increase from the 2022 conference ($139,000). The event served as newly appointed Commissioner Rob Heferen's first opportunity to meet with his entire senior leadership team to align focus, discuss priorities, and strengthen organisational culture. The venue was selected based on logistical requirements and value-for-money assessment. The disclosure includes internal correspondence approving the spending proposal as representing efficient and effective use of Commonwealth resources. Program activities included facilitated panel discussions, peer conversations, and plenary sessions enabling leaders to engage with the Commissioner and collaborate on strategic initiatives.
