The Honourable Chris Kourakis, Chief Justice of South Australia today said:
“The Governor has today appointed Ms Penelope Croser as the State Courts Administrator with effect from 15 June 2021.
Ms Croser was selected by the State Courts Administration Council as its preferred candidate for the position from a strong field of applicants. The Council nominated Ms Croser for the position in accordance with section 16 of the Courts Administration Act 1993 (SA).
Ms Croser is returning to South Australia after serving as the Executive Director, Social Policy Group, Department of Premier and Cabinet in Victoria, a role which oversees Justice Portfolio matters. Ms Croser will also bring relevant skills and insight to the role gained through extensive experience in public administration, including in Education and Training, Emergency Management and Police.
I welcome Ms Croser to the Courts Administration Authority and look forward to working with her. I am confident Ms Croser will lead the Authority well.”
Ms Croser will be replacing Ms Julie-Anne Burgess.
