Premier Steven Miles has met with Peter Coaldrake in his first external meeting since taking the top job.

Mr Miles met Professor Coaldrake in Brisbane on Monday afternoon where the pair discussed his 2022 integrity review and its ongoing implementation.

The Premier’s office said it was Mr Miles’s first external meeting since being sworn in on Friday morning.

Details of the meeting remain scarce, however Mr Miles’s office confirmed the integrity review was discussed in the “general catch-up”.

Professor Coaldrake’s 2022 integrity review was accepted by the premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, who pledged to implement all recommendations “lock, stock and barrel”.

It arose from complaints of a culture of fear within the public service, where staff were bullied and were too scared to offer frank advice to ministers’ offices.

Ms Palaszczuk faced criticism, however, for declaring a one-stop complaints clearing house was unviable, only to reverse her decision and recommit to the agency.

The state government is set to implement one of the Coaldrake review’s most significant recommendations, releasing cabinet documents after 30 days, in the first quarter of next year.

Mr Miles’s appointment of Mike Kaiser as director-general of the Department of Premier and Cabinet drew criticism from the LNP on Monday.

It claimed the appointment of Mr Kaiser went against the Coaldrake review, which called for independence in the Queensland public service.

Mr Kaiser was formerly a Labor state secretary and member of parliament.

Mr Miles said he would do a “great job” as head of the public service.
