About the event
 

Mr Hood will detail how the Bureau’s investigation process works and how lessons are learned to make the sector safer for all travellers. In an industry where international cooperation and capacity building is critical, he will also discuss the role that ATSB and its kindred Australian organisations plays in supporting capacity building in our Asia-Pacific region and the challenges for the future given the exponential growth in aviation in our region

About the speaker
 

Greg Hood was appointed to the role of Chief Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau on 1 July 2016. In his time as Chief Commissioner, Mr Hood has overseen a number of significant transport safety investigations and report releases across the three modes of aviation, rail and maritime.  He has also successfully transitioned the ATSB into its new role as the single national rail safety investigator, bringing to a close a commitment to rail reform initiated by the Council of Australian Governments in 2009. Prior to his commencement with the ATSB, Mr Hood held the role of Executive General Manager, Air Traffic Control with Airservices Australia.  In this position, he was responsible for the management of over 1,300 air traffic management staff, providing services for 11 per cent of the world’s total airspace for more than four million flights annually from 28 air traffic control towers and facilities. Mr Hood began his career as an air traffic controller in the Royal Australian Air Force in 1980, serving at locations throughout Australia and in the Middle East.  In 1990, he moved to the Civil Aviation Authority, a predecessor to what is now Airservices Australia. Mr Hood is also Chair of the International Transportation Safety Association
