Jane Miller, the CEO of Ambulance Victoria, has resigned amid growing controversy surrounding the organization. Miller, who had been in the role for 18 months, stepped down following a series of misconduct allegations involving six employees who were suspended over fraudulent overtime claims. These allegations led to a significant scandal, and there were concerns about how information related to the investigation was handled, with some accusing senior leadership of leaking details to the media.
In addition to the scandal, there was also a broader issue of declining trust in the organization's leadership, which culminated in a vote of no confidence from the union representing many of the paramedics. This combination of factors likely contributed to Miller's decision to resign. Former Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp has been appointed as the interim CEO while a permanent replacement is sought.
