I am pleased to announce Mr John Tansey PSM has commenced as the next Commissioner of the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) for a five-year term.
It follows a comprehensive recruitment process led by the NSW Public Service Commissioner and in consultation with the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the HCCC.
John has held senior leadership and regulatory roles right across the NSW Government including most recently at the Department of Customer Service.
He is a recognised leader in regulatory policy and practice, with experience and achievements in reforming and implementing regulatory frameworks, schemes and operations. I'm confident he will bring this proven track record to the vital work of the Commission.
I want to take this opportunity also to thank Mr Kieran Pehm and Ms Nicole Lawless for their service as Acting Commissioner in recent months.
I look forward to working with John to support the ongoing integrity of our health system and to protect the health and safety of our community.
