I am pleased to announce Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner, AM, Governor of Tasmania has appointed Richard Bingham as Chief Executive Officer of the Integrity Commission.
This appointment is on the recommendation of the Premier and is effective from 1 July 2017 for a period of five years.
Mr Bingham has had an extensive career in monitoring and upholding the public interest, including serving as Secretary of the Department of Justice, Chairman of the Tasmanian Electoral Commission and most recently as the Queensland Integrity Commissioner.
He will oversee all financial and administrative operations for the Commission, which plays a crucial role in improving the standard of conduct and ethics within public authorities and enhancing public confidence that any misconduct will be appropriately dealt with. I welcome Mr Bingham back to Tasmania and thanks acting CEO Michael Easton for his dedication in overseeing the Commission’s operations since 2015.
