International Advisory Board


The International Advisory Board (IAB) provides strategic advice to the CEPS Executive, and facilitates improved and new links with government, industry, research institutions and other stakeholders. The membership of the Board changed in 2010, with a reduction of university representations. This is in line with the recommendations from the ARC Review in 2009 to include greater external input on vision and expertise.

The Board currently consists of:

• Professor Duncan Chappell (Chair) - Professor, University of Sydney
• Commissioner Ian Stewart - Commissioner, Queensland Police Service (ex officio)
• Professor Simon Bronitt - Centre Director, Griffith University (ex officio)
• Commissioner Ken Lay - Commissioner, Victoria Police (ex officio)
