Lisa Neville

Director

Lisa is the former Minister for Police and the Minister for Water in the Andrews Labor Government of Victoria.

Lisa took on the police portfolio in 2016 and since then has implemented a new strategic policy framework for community safety which is driving the biggest expansion in police numbers, technology and equipment in the force’s history.

She maintains a keen interest in issues and services for women and children, people with a disability and older Victorians.

Lisa was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 1988, and like most people with Crohn’s, it took a while for medical professionals to correctly identify the disease.

Living with Crohn’s has meant many flare ups, surgeries, and complications – all side-effects of the disease that patients will know well.

In 2021, she experienced a major health scare which required an extended period of leave.

Prior to this episode, Lisa had managed Crohn’s very privately but her experience – particularly hearing from so many fellow Crohn’s sufferers – reinforced to her the importance of talking openly about this terrible this disease and the impact it has.

Lisa is proud to be an ambassador for Crohn’s & Colitis Australia and hopes to give inspiration to people by speaking out about this this silent and often invisible disease that impacts thousands of Australians every day.
