We are delighted to announce the appointment of Ms Kerrie Evans as Chief Executive Officer of the AIBT.
Ms Evans is not a stranger to AIBT or to the AEG. She returns to the role with deep institutional knowledge, a strong understanding of AEG's standards and values, and a clear appreciation of the strategic direction ahead. Her appointment represents both continuity and renewed momentum.
With over 30 years of experience in education and community services, Ms Evans has led organisations through regulatory audits, re-registrations, governance strengthening, and operational transformation. Her expertise in compliance, quality assurance, and system improvement has consistently delivered sustainable outcomes and regulatory confidence.
As CEO of AIBT, Ms Evans’ work will extend beyond the institute itself. She will play a key role in strengthening the AEG ecosystem, deepening collaboration and pathways across AIHE, AIS, the Adelaide Research Institute, and the Intensive English Language Centre. This integrated approach ensures that students benefit from connected progression opportunities, shared quality frameworks, and a unified commitment to excellence across vocational, higher education, secondary, research, and English language sectors.
Her leadership style is practical, collaborative, and outcomes-driven, grounded in a genuine commitment to students, staff, and sector integrity. Beyond her professional achievements, Ms Evans expresses her creativity through art, making quilts and handcrafted items for family and charity, reflecting the care and dedication she brings to all that she does.
