Former NSW minister for digital government Victor Dominello’s post-political career is continuing to take shape as he has taken up a board seat at tech industry lobby group the Tech Council of Australia (TCA), replacing former federal assistant innovation minister Wyatt Roy.
It is a second technology industry-related role taken on by Mr Dominello since he bowed out of state politics at the March election. He also took on a position to lead an organisation, focused on digital trust, created by the University of NSW and the University of Technology Sydney.

It is understood Mr Roy decided to leave the TCA board to concentrate on other commercial commitments, and the group was keen to replace him with a well-known operator of the same political stripe to maintain a bipartisan balance on its board.
The board, chaired by Tesla chairwoman Robyn Denholm, also features former Queensland innovation minister Kate Jones, who quit the Palaszczuk Labor government in late 2020.
Other board members include Atlassian co-CEO Scott Farquhar, Canva co-founder Cliff Obrecht and Afterpay co-founder Anthony Eisen.
