RISSB appoints new Board Chair

RISSB is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Gillian Miles as the new RISSB Board Chair following the Annual General Meeting this morning.

RISSB Chief Executive Officer Damien White welcomed Dr Miles, acknowledging her three decades of experience leading reform to deliver an efficient, safe and integrated transport system across national, state and local government environments.

Dr Miles is looking forward to working with and contributing to the work that RISSB does.

“I am pleased to have the opportunity to be part of RISSB’s continuing journey, and I am happy to join as Chair of an organisation which will play a critical role in the future of the rail industry,” said Dr Miles.

RISSB’S experiences over the past five years, especially through the Covid19 pandemic have highlighted for us the importance of reliable and robust transport system. And as Australia grows, rail will continue to play a more significant role in the transport ecosystem across all Australian states to move people, goods and commodities efficiently and safely.

“Productivity, liveability, decarbonisation and digital technology, will all be key in the investment decisions being made in the rail industry,” said Dr Miles.

“Industry leaders and governments are increasingly looking for greater harmonisation – the National Transport Commission has been leading the rail reform agenda by bringing government and industry together. RISSB has a role to play in this, working with industry and to collaborate with government to realise the benefits of this reform agenda.

“The future will be demanding but it is bright and exciting,” she said.
