Terrie Benfield appointed Victorian Racing Integrity Commissioner
Racing Minister Anthony Carbines has appointed greyhound industry executive Terrie Benfield as the next Victorian Racing Integrity Commissioner.
The five-year appointment, starting this week, ends a six-month recruitment following the resignation of predecessor Sean Carroll, who was headhunted to spearhead racing integrity in Tasmania.
Benfield, a long-time public servant originally from a legal background, has held multiple positions at Greyhound Racing Victoria the past decade, including Executive General Manager Corporate and General Counsel.
The independent Office of the Racing Integrity Commissioner monitors integrity issues across thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing in Victoria.
It also oversees the integrity systems and processes of Racing Victoria, Harness Racing Victoria and Greyhound Racing Victoria.
'Terrie Benfield is highly respected within the Victorian racing industry, and she will bring a wealth of regulatory experience to the role,' Carbines said.

AFL round 13: Adelaide Crows vs Brisbane Lions, live scores and SuperCoach points
It's being billed as the Crows' chance to show they deserve to be considered a genuine top-four threat. The City of Churches will come alive for Friday night footy when Adelaide welcomes Brisbane Lions in one of the most eagerly-anticipated clashes of 2025. Third-placed Adelaide enters the blockbuster clash with one win (GWS at home) and four losses (Geelong at home and Fremantle, Gold Coast and Collingwood away) against top-eight teams this year. 'We're dug into the process, so we can only do what we can do against the opposition every week,' coach Matthew Nicks said. 'Some of our tougher games are on the road – we played at the MCG against Collingwood – and we could get everything right and still not win those games. 'We're just locked in on what we need to do (Friday) night. 'And that (weekly focus) is on what we need to do to beat any side, but we'll need to do it for a lot longer to beat Brisbane.'
