Catherine Myers Resigns as CEO of Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation

The chief executive of Victoria’s gaming watchdog has resigned amid a major overhaul of the embattled regulator, which has been widely criticised over its lax oversight of Crown casino.
Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation chief executive Catherine Myers abruptly ended her role with the Commission on November 19, after more than seven years in the position.
Her departure follows a tumultuous period for the VCGLR, which will be replaced next year by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission and a new regulator for liquor licensing and compliance.
Ms Myers said it was appropriate to leave before the establishment of the new regulators, according to a statement on the VCGLR website on November 10.
The decision by the Andrews Government to restructure regulation of the gaming industry followed a litany of legal and ethical breaches by Crown Resorts, initially exposed in reports by The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and 60 Minutes in 2019, and later by an NSW inquiry and a royal commission in Victoria.
