New Airservices Australia Board Chair Appointed

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Anne Brown as the Chairperson of the Board of Airservices Australia for a term of three years.

Ms Brown brings a wealth of experience to the role, having been a member of the Airservices Board for over five years, including serving as deputy chair since December 2024.

With a background in Australian and international financial markets, risk management, governance and regulatory environments, her skill set complements the existing board in delivering and upholding Australia's world-class aviation safety standards.

Ms Brown will be the 7th Chair of Airservices Australia and the first woman to hold the role.

Airservices provides air traffic management and aviation rescue and fire-fighting services to the nation, and is responsible for is responsible for 11 per cent of global airspace.

Ms Brown's appointment comes at a crucial time for the board as Airservices Australia continues to deliver major transformation and modernisation programs.

Airservices are modernising Australia's air traffic control systems through OneSKY in partnership with the Department of Defence, and establishing Digital Aerodrome Services to airports like Canberra and Western Sydney International.

The organisation is also working to upgrade Australia's aviation firefighting capability through the Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting NexGen, with a fleet of plug-in hybrid firefighting vehicles due for delivery at Western Sydney International later this year.

I would like to thank Mr John Weber - who recently completed his tenure as Chairperson - for his significant contributions to aviation safety and for leading Airservices Australia through a period of both significant change and unparalleled opportunity
