Department of Home Affairs secretary Michael Pezzullo and Attorney-General’s Department secretary Chris Moraitis have been reappointed to their respective roles.
“I congratulate them both and look forward to continue working with them,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in a short statement on Wednesday evening.
Both are almost at the end of their five-year terms, which is the standard period of employment for the heads of Australian Public Service departments but can easily be cut short by the government of the day.
