Background

About Anna Scott

I am a Director, Committee Member and Health, Safety and Risk Professional with board level experience across Government, retail, property, transport and FMCG sectors. In an executive capacity, I was the Director Health, Safety and Wellbeing at Victoria’s Department of Transport. Here I developed a three-year strategy on Transport Health, Safety and Wellbeing. Previously I was a Senior Manager at Public Transport Victoria, where I reviewed and upgraded internal programs, strategies and policies on Health, Safety and Wellbeing matters, led the procurement of an incident management system and mental health service. I am currently Executive GM, Safety and Environment at Vicinity Centres where I utilise my experience working with boards and risk and audit committees, my strategic leadership and risk management experience to identify, assess and control health, safety and environment risk. At board level what I do is mitigate risk. I do that by leveraging my deep knowledge in health, safety, and wellbeing matters, people leadership, risk management, stakeholder relationship, and the development and implementation of prevention systems, policies, strategies and programs. Board level highlights include working with the Boards of Vicinity Centres, the Department of Transport and Public Transport Victoria, as well as the Risk and Safety Committee of the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. Finally, I hold an MBA and am a Graduate of the AICD’s Company Directors Course.
