About the organisation
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) is the state's environmental regulator, working to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of pollution and waste on our communities and ecosystems.

EPA is values-led, future-focused, and committed to delivering lasting impact for all Victorians.
About the role
As CEO, you will lead EPA's strategic direction and operational performance in a highly visible and accountable setting. Reporting to the governing Board, the CEO is entrusted with shaping a modern, agile regulator that is proactive, transparent and deeply engaged with the community.
