Reviews Services

CPM Reviews was established in July 2008 under the leadership of Mr Jeff Lamond, and is an arm of the Centre for Public Management.  CPM Reviews provides services to all levels of government, and to some private organisations, delivering ethical, professional and independent reviews of complaints, potential breaches of codes of conduct, employment decisions and other actions. CPM Reviews can help with all assignments, and also specialises in complex and sensitive matters.

Jeff Lamond, the General Manager of CPM Reviews, was formerly the Merit Protection Commissioner. Since mid-2008 the business has grown to its current strength of over 20 highly experienced reviewers, all with significant previous public sector experience. Our reviewers have a range of skills including legal qualifications and experience at senior levels of government, in federal policing, human resource management, industrial relations and military policing.

CPM Reviews can offer support and assistance across a wide range of areas, extending to specialist contexts such as the prison system and the health sector.
