She was previously deputy chair under Joe Longo
Sarah Court has been announced as ASIC’s new incoming chair.
She succeeds Joe Longo. Her term at the helm begins on 1 June.
Court was previously the agency’s deputy chair. Longo highlighted her experience in public service and expertise in regulatory matters.
“Sarah is an exceptional regulator with a strong record in enforcement that demonstrates her integrity and impact. Her work as ASIC’s deputy chair has been instrumental to the success of the agency’s structural transformation that has strengthened our enforcement posture and work, leading to better outcomes for consumers and a fairer financial system”, he said.
Longo had announced back in September 2025 that he would be stepping down this year. His term concludes on 31 May.
He confirmed that he would be working with Court and ASIC in the coming months to facilitate the leadership transition.
