Victorian Institute of Teaching Council Chairperson Susan Halliday is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Melanie Saba as Chief Executive Officer.

Ms Saba brings a wide perspective to the role of regulation, having worked for several professional registration boards and directly with the Victorian government. Formerly the Chief Executive Officer of the Psychologists Registration Board, Ms Saba has also held senior positions with the Nurses Board of Victoria and Consumer Affairs Victoria.

Ms Halliday would like to thank inaugural Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ius, who retired in April 2010. Mr Ius successfully delivered on the Victorian government’s ambitious agenda to regulate the Victorian teaching profession. His historic contribution and personal commitment to excellence have ensured the public interest in Victoria, and across the nation, will be well served for many years to come.
