Victoria's corruption watchdog has a new woman in charge - a year after her predecessor finished up.
The state government announced Victoria Elliot as the new commissioner for the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission.
Ms Elliott has more than 25 years of experience in the management of legal investigations, compliance and integrity frameworks.
She is currently serving her third term as a Deputy Public Interest Monitor, first appointed to the role in 2016, overseeing the use of covert investigative and coercive powers by law enforcement and integrity agencies.
She also worked as a managing lawyer for IBAC from 2013 to 2016.
Previous commissioner Robert Redlich's five-year term came to an end on December 16, 2022.
Ms Elliot will start her five-year term on December 16, taking over from action commissioner Stephen Farrow.
Towards the end of his time as commissioner, Mr Redlich became a vocal critic of the Andrews Labor government and its attempts to minimise investigation findings and the growing problem of 'grey corruption' - unethical practices that did not meet the legal threshold of a criminal offence.
