In his role at TAFE NSW, Babington managed a team of more than 2000, $400m in operating expenses, and $150m in capex.
During his time there he established and executed an extensive, complex and successful portfolio of transformation programs, and drove the data effort and people/service centred approach that, amongst other outcomes, saw a significant year-on-year increase in enrolments in 2020.
