The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has appointed Philip Reed as its new chief executive.
Mr Reed is a former director-general of the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General and has worked at senior government levels in Victoria and New South Wales.
He takes up his new position with the royal commission next week, replacing Janette Dines who resigned last month.
Janette Dines was appointed to the commission in late 2012 and was previously the director-general of Emergency Management Australia.
While the circumstances surrounding her departure remain unclear, the ABC understands Ms Dines will be returning to a previous role.
