Ward stars as Hannah Howard, the managing director of packaging company Flinley Craddick, the Australian series' answer to Steve Carrell's Michael Scott in the US iteration.
Howard receives news from Head Office that her branch is being shut down and moving to a WFH system instead, but she is determined to keep her "work family" together.
"The staff of Flinley Craddick indulge her and must endure Hannah's outlandish plots as they work toward the impossible targets that have been set for them."
The series will also star Edith Poor, Steen Raskopoulos, Shari Sebbens, Josh Thomson, Jonny Burgh, Susan Ling Young, Raj Labade, Lucy Schmidt, Zoe Terakes, Pallavi Sharda and Claude Jabbour, with Susie Youssef, Justin Rosniiak, Carlo Ritchie, Rick Donald and Chris Bunton in guest roles.
Set to debut on October 18, the series is the thirteenth iteration of the global smash hit and is the first version with a female boss.
