I am pleased to announce the newly appointed Disability Worker Registration Board of Victoria, who will continue the important work of setting registration standards and registering Victorian disability workers.
I am delighted to be reappointed as Chair of the Board. I am joined by past Board members, Christian Astourian, Maryanne Diamond and Geoffrey Southwell. Newly appointed Board members are Martin Checketts, Elizabeth March, Keith McVilly, Kelly Schulz, Jessica Sullivan and Patrick Wilsmore.

I also take this opportunity to give my sincere thanks to outgoing members on their contribution to the Scheme - Christine Bigby, Gobi Chandran, Colleen Furlanetto, Alex Gunning and Jill Linklater.
