Racing Minister Anthony Carbines has appointed greyhound industry executive Terrie Benfield as the next Victorian Racing Integrity Commissioner.

The five-year appointment, starting this week, ends a six-month recruitment following the resignation of predecessor Sean Carroll, who was headhunted to spearhead racing integrity in Tasmania.

Benfield, a long-time public servant originally from a legal background, has held multiple positions at Greyhound Racing Victoria the past decade, including Executive General Manager Corporate and General Counsel.

The independent Office of the Racing Integrity Commissioner monitors integrity issues across thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing in Victoria.

It also oversees the integrity systems and processes of Racing Victoria, Harness Racing Victoria and Greyhound Racing Victoria.

“Terrie Benfield is highly respected within the Victorian racing industry, and she will bring a wealth of regulatory experience to the role,” Carbines said.
