Annette Kimmitt, the chief executive of the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) in Australia, has resigned from her role, effective from March 2025.
According to the Guardian Australia, her decision to step down was led by “the pull of family.”
“I have got my first grand-daughter due in January; my mother is ageing and needs a bit more help. It is just that time of life where I’m deciding to step away from full-time executive work,” Kimmett reportedly said.
“I am really proud of what the organisation has done in three short years. We are now recognised as the nation’s strongest gambling regulator. We have really held the industry to account. Since January 2022, we have levied nearly AU$260m in fines.
"We had 88 disciplinary actions against the industry just last year."
