Cameron O'Reilly

Executive Director, Energy Retailers Association of Australia
Public Policy and Management

My Monash Master in Public Policy and Management gave me credible postgraduate qualifications in an area relevant to my work. Monash is a well regarded university, and the course definitely enhanced my career opportunities. It provided excellent grounding in how to frame public policy arguments - which I now do on behalf of energy companies facing an emissions constrained future. It also allowed me to undertake specialist work on the National Electricity Market which was essential background for my current role as Executive Director of the Energy Retailers Association of Australia.

I have recently received the Fulbright Professional Australia-U.S. Alliance Studies Scholarship sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Through my Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Texas and Georgetown University, I will work on a project 'Reducing emissions while remaining competitive' from March 2009.

This was a tremendous fillip for me in mid career as it will open professional and personal doors in the US to explore the number one public policy challenge confronting the energy sector in Australia, US and indeed worldwide.
