Michael Stockton "Mike" Keating AC (born 25 January 1940) is a retired Australian senior public servant.
Early life[]
Michael Keating was born in 1940.[1] Keating graduated from the University of Melbourne with a first class honours degree in economics.[2] He then studied at the Australian National University, attaining his PhD in 1967.[2]
Career[]
Keating was appointed Secretary of the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations in May 1983.[3] In 1986 Keating shifted to head the Department of Finance.[4]
In 1991, Prime Minister Paul Keating (no relation) recommended that Michael Keating be appointed as Secretary to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.[5] Keating retired from the role and left the Australian Public Service in 1996.[6]
Between 1997 and 2007, Keating was a Visiting Fellow in the Economics Program at the Australian National University.[7] His two principal fields of interest were: integration of social and economic policy, particularly as it relates to improving labour market outcomes; and research into the factors which are affecting Australia's governance, and how governments, institutions and policies are responding, and how relations between the citizen and the state are changing.[8][9]
In 2015 Keating was appointed as Chairman of The Committee for Sustainable Retirement Incomes.
Awards and honours[]
In January 1990, Keating was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in recognition of his public service.[10] Six years later he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia, for service to social, economic and public sector reform, particularly as a leader in organizational and management reform.[11]
In 2001, Keating was honoured with an honorary degree from Griffith University.[7]
