Matt Toner Email & Phone Number

As a Specialist Adviser to Premiers Andrews and Allan, I provided high-level, strategic advice on stakeholder engagement and communications, leveraging my public policy and governance expertise and my leadership credentials. I have successfully completed the New Leader Development Program at Melbourne Business School, which enhanced my skills in leading teams, managing projects, and driving change.With over three years of experience advising state government leadership on a range of complex and sensitive policy issues and projects, I have a proven track record of delivering effective and innovative solutions to meet the needs and expectations of diverse internal and external stakeholders - including peak bodies, unions, industry associations, institutional investors, training organisations, regulators, government agencies and departments, and many more. I have developed a strong network of relationships with key stakeholders across the public, private, and non-profit sectors, and am proud of my work with and for diverse communities including people from low socio-economic backgrounds, CALD, LGBTQI+ and First Nations communities. I am passionate about delivering outcomes that benefit the community and continuing to deliver progressive change.
