Mr Grahame Searle

Mr Grahame Searle has a Bachelor of Business and extensive experience in service delivery, leadership and organisational change.

In the decade from 1998 to 2008 he drove the transformation of the Department of Land Administration from its origins as a traditional public service agency to Landgate, a statutory authority.

Grahame’s broad conceptual and problem solving abilities are now being applied to address the complexities of the Department of Housing. Grahame is focussed on forging new and innovative ways to meet increasing demand, including new partnerships with Community Housing Organisations across the State.  His vision of “Opening Doors” is accompanied by a mission statement of “working in partnership to build economic and social prosperity, thus enabling Western Australians to have a place to call home”.

Grahame has a strong background in information technology and, in particular, integrating computer systems for customer service delivery.  He has extensive experience in managing information technology projects in Victoria and Western Australia.

Grahame is an Honorary Fellow of the Spatial Sciences Institute of Australia, past President of the Institute of Public Administration (WA Division), Board member of the WA Treasury Corporation and a member of the WA Planning Commission.
