The head of the department that ran the robo-debt scheme, Kathryn Campbell has avoided possible dismissal and fines, after resigning from her $900,000 AUKUS submarine advisers job last Friday.

The Defence department advised Monday she had resigned from her role after the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed Thursday the former Human Services secretary had been being suspended without pay.
