Michael Henry Codd (born 1939) is a retired Australian senior public servant and university chancellor.
Mike Codd was born in 1939. He attended University of Adelaide, graduating in 1961 with a Bachelor of Economics with honours.
Codd was appointed to his first Secretary role in 1981, becoming head of the Department of Industrial Relations.[1]
Between 1985 and 1986 Codd served as Secretary of the Department of Community Services.[2]
In 1986 he was appointed Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary.[3] In 1987 he worked with Prime Minister Bob Hawke to introduce massive reform changes to the public service, creating "super ministry" departments.[4] Codd did note potential disadvantages of the machinery of government changes, including that there was potential for "bunker mentality" to continue.[5]
Codd retired from the public service in December 1991,[6] his appointment was terminated by an Executive Council meeting on 27 December that year.[7]
After his retirement from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Codd joined consultancy firm Coopers and Lybrand.[8] He was also appointed to the board of Qantas in 1992, prior to the airline's privatization, and served 16 years retiring in 2008.[9] Between 1997 and 2009 he was Chancellor of the University of Wollongong (UOW), retiring in September 2009.
In January 1991, Codd was made a Companion of the Order of Australia in recognition of service as secretary to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. He received a Centenary Medal in 2001.
In 2009, the University of Wollongong awarded Mike Codd an honorary degree and in 2010 named a building after him on its Innovation Campus in recognition of his eminent service as the university's second Chancellor. His portrait (by Mathew Lynn, 2014) hangs in the Codd building.
