Our Director-GeneralIn reflecting on our work over the past 12 months, it ispleasing to note the substantial progress that has beenmade since April 2004, when the Authority becameAustralia’s first and only integrated food safety agency.While our primary role of safeguarding NSW consumersby ensuring the safety of the food they eat continues, howwe deliver on that has been changing over the past year.With increasing responsibilities and national andinternational recognition of the Authority as a leader infood safety, we face new challenges on delivering a rangeof services to all our stakeholders – consumers, industry,local government and other government agencies.Organisational change, particularly in relation to how ourstaff respond to emerging and ongoing issues, has been akey focus of 2005/06. Importantly, over the past year, wehave taken the step of moving away from directlyundertaking all activities ourselves, with its highinvestment in resources and time, to ‘enabling’ others toact on our behalf, relieving our limited resources fordealing with the more complex issues. This Annual Reportrecords how we have met these challenges.Addressing organisational changeThe Authority has always had a positive approach tochange. During 2005/06, it became apparent that weneeded to prepare for change in a structured way. TheExecutive, together with our staff, developed a MasterChange Plan, which captured existing and new projectsthat needed completing in the next few years to help usdevelop as an organisation. It identified nine broad areasof work: through-chain risk management, enforcement,consumer education, financial management, nationalprojects and processes, human resources management,communication, information management and knowledgemanagement. As a result, 38, mainly interlinked, projectsor work programs were identified.4
