Ms Elliott was admitted as a barrister and solicitor in the Supreme Court of Victoria and the High Court of Australia in 2005.

“I give my sincere thanks to Stephen Farrow for overseeing IBAC through this transition period and continuing to provide sound judgement and leadership.”
Ms Elliott will start a five-year term as IBAC commissioner on 16 December 2023.
