Road Safety Camera Commissioner
07 Feb, 2012

Motorists will be represented by Australia's first independent Road Safety Camera Commissioner as the Victorian Government continues to increase integrity measures around speed and red light cameras.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Peter Ryan said former County Court Judge Gordon Lewis AM would provide independent oversight of Victoria's road safety camera system.

The Road Safety Camera Commissioner's office will perform the following roles:

quality assurance and reporting: to independently monitor and review current camera operations.

investigation and review: any part of the system at his own choosing, or if requested by the Minister to do so.

complaints management: so any person who feels they have been hard-done-by can lodge a complaint with the Camera Commissioner, though it will not be his role to intervene in individual cases; and

reference group: the Camera Commissioner will be able to establish a reference group of external advisors to assist him in his role.


The Road Safety Camera Commissioner's Office can be contacted on 1300 651 838 or by visiting www.cameracommissioner.vic.gov.au.

Complaints or correspondence to the Commissioner should be in writing and addressed to the Road Safety Camera Commissioner, Locked Bag 14, Collins Street East, Melbourne VIC 8003.
