Appointment of ACCC Deputy Chair

Ms Louise Sylvan has received the required support for appointment as Deputy Chair of the ACCC following consultations with all States and Territories.

I welcome the support that Ms Sylvan has received and will be recommending her appointment to the Governor-General.

Ms Sylvan has considerable experience in consumer and competition issues. She is currently Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Consumers Association and Chair of Consumers International.

She holds a Master of Public Administration degree and has been a member of numerous government committees.
