Since March 2025 Meena Singh has led the Commission for Children and Young People as Acting Principal Commissioner and continued to hold the role of Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People.
Following seven months in both roles, Meena will return full-time to her substantive role as Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People.
The Government has announced Argiri Alisandratos as Acting Principal Commissioner for Children and Young People commencing 5 November 2025.
‘Both roles are very much full-time, and the challenges facing Aboriginal children and young people – especially their unacceptable and unjust over-representation in the child protection, out-of-home care and youth justice systems – demand nothing less than my total attention,’ Meena said.
‘Together with Commission staff, I remain committed to continuing our vital work for Victoria’s vulnerable children and young people. We look forward to working with the new Acting Principal Commissioner pending a permanent appointment to be announced by the Victorian Government,’ Meena concluded.
