New appointee to CASA board

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Tarryn Kille to the board of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

Dr Kille began her aviation career as a professional pilot and flight instructor, and has extensive experience across aviation research, regulatory policy and operations.

She is an Associate Professor, Program Director and Aviation Discipline Lead at the University of Southern Queensland lecturing in aviation leadership and management and has a PhD in aviation sustainability.

She has made an impact in the aviation education industry, building new post-graduate programs with the University of Southern Queensland and Griffith University.

Dr Kille brings a strong understanding of policy and regulatory frameworks, having worked in these areas previously, and brings a unique set of skills to the board of CASA.

Her qualifications and experience will help shape and govern CASA as it navigates future opportunities and challenges.

I look forward to continuing to work with the CASA Board to ensure Australian aviation remains among the safest in the world and a world-class leader.
