AUSTRAC Welcomes New CEO

Paul Jevtovic APM took up his role as AUSTRAC CEO in November

2014.  

Before starting at AUSTRAC, Mr Jevtovic served in the Australian Crime Commission as Executive Director Operations, and before that as acting CEO. Prior to this, he was Deputy Director of the

Victorian Office of Police Integrity.

These roles followed a 28-year career with the Australian Federal Police. He was awarded the Australian Police Medal in 2007.

Mr Jevtovic’s first priorities include delivering on the recent $20 million funding boost to AUSTRAC to help stop the funding of terrorists in Australia.

It is critical that the fight against terrorism financing and money laundering is done through a partnership with the private sector.

He will be working with the private sector in order to build the relationship between AUSTRAC and the

companies they regulate.
