Stepanov heads to Toowoomba

Nikola Stepanov, the former Queensland integrity commissioner, has started as Toowoomba Council’s general manager of planning and development and inhouse counsel.

Stepanov said she would continue her work in human rights, bioethics, and health law in her private time. This included as a board member of The ALIVE National Centre and as Adjunct Professor, Division of Tropical Health & Medicine, James Cook University as well as a Steering Committee Member of Qld Health Ethics and Law.

Stepanov controversially resigned as integrity commissioner over concerns of interference in her office.
