With more than 20 years of senior executive expertise, Suzy Neilan is stepping into the role of CEO of the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC).
Neilan is the executive director, strategy at the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA), having held the position for more than three years, including periods of acting CEO. Prior to her current role, Neilan had an extensive career in leadership and regulation positions within and with the Victorian public sector.
“As the VGCCC enters the next phase of the program of transformation we began three years ago, Suzy’s experience leading digital and technology transformation, and her deep understanding of education, enforcement and compliance will continue to ensure the Commission is well placed to meet future challenges and ensure the integrity, safety and fairness of the gambling industry,” said VGCCC chair, Chris O’Neill.
“Suzy’s commitment to achieving regulatory outcomes that benefit Victorians makes her a strong leader to support the Commission and head the agency’s executive leadership team.”
O’Neill thanked Annette Kimmitt AM for her leadership over the last three years, remarking that her stewardship of the VGCCC since taking up the inaugural CEO position in 2022 had been instrumental in the regulator’s evolution.
“Annette’s holistic vision and tenacious drive led the Commission’s transformation in its first years and with strategic focus, determined how we would work with the industry to ensure that our mandate to regulate in the public interest would be met.
“On behalf of all at the VGCCC, I thank Annette for her exemplary service and dedication, and we wish her all the best for the future.”
