Commissioner for Public Sector Employment in South Australia Erma Ranieri works passionately towards creating a world-leading public sector that serves South Australians well, does what it says it will do, and to which every public servant is proud to belong.

With the role of the public sector being to serve and support South Australia to thrive, Ms Ranieri leads sector-wide reform to modernise the public sector and continue to build on its value and service to the South Australian community.

She has worked for more than 30 years to help organisations optimise productivity and employee wellbeing. She was named a 2014 Telstra Business Woman of the Year as South Australian Winner of the Telstra Community and Government Award for her role in leading transformational change throughout the public sector.

With a key focus on diversity and gender equality in leadership as business imperatives for the public sector, Ms Ranieri continues to challenge cultural and structural barriers to drive innovative, collaborative and connected services for the community.​
