Meet the Acting Commissioner

Mimi Crowe is South Australia’s Acting Commissioner for Children and Young People (CCYP), appointed to the role in April 2025 while a permanent replacement is recruited.

Mimi will resume her role as Chief Executive of Carclew, Australia’s leading multi-artform institution for children and young people, at the conclusion of her Acting appointment.

“I feel deeply honoured and energised to step into the role of Acting Commissioner for Children and Young People. SA’s inaugural Commissioner, Helen Connolly, left behind a powerful legacy of advocating for the rights of children and young people. In the coming months, I’ll focus a creative lens to the important work of the Commissioner; championing imagination, expression and possibility as vital parts of every young person’s life.

Creativity, courage and young voices will shape the future, and I’m here for it.”
