Andrew Crisp AM has been appointed as the next Board Chair of Ambulance Victoria, the Victorian Government has announced.
Following a distinguished 45-year career in policing and emergency management, Mr Crisp joined the Ambulance Victoria board as a Director in June 2024 before his appointment as interim CEO in August.
Mr Crisp will continue as interim CEO until 30 June, when Jordan Emery begins his tenure – joining from Ambulance Tasmania where he has contributed to a cultural transformation within the service.
“Andrew Crisp’s deep understanding of emergency management, and his commitment to the workforce and community safety, will see him continue to play a significant role in the future of Ambulance Victoria,” said Minister for Ambulance Services, Mary-Anne Thomas.
“His strong leadership has been critical in helping the service navigate a challenging period over the past 10 months – his passion and wealth of knowledge have been invaluable.”
The Government today also thanked the outgoing Board Chair Shelly Park for her dedicated service and leadership and wishes her well as she starts as Board Chair at the Royal Women’s Hospital.
“We also send our sincere thanks to Shelly Park whose experience and passion have been instrumental during her time as Board Chair – I look forward to seeing the great work she will do in her new role at the Women’s,” said Minister Thomas.
She said Ms Park’s extensive experience had been instrumental in guiding Ambulance Victoria through a period of change and record demand.
