SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens APM has devoted his working life to serving and protecting South Australians.
Grant has led with integrity, sound judgment and an unwavering sense of duty, earning the trust of our community through some of the most challenging periods in our stateโs history.
He understands South Australia and its people.
From frontline policing to leading our response to major emergencies, and through his work helping young people find a better path, his service has always been grounded in a commitment to others.
That commitment extends well beyond policing - through Operation Flinders, his support for cancer research, prevention and treatment, and his advocacy for organ donation.
Today, I announced that His Majesty King Charles III has approved my recommendation to appoint Commissioner Stevens as our stateโs 37th Governor.
I have every confidence Grant will be an outstanding Governor. His ability to connect with people, his steady leadership and his understanding of our community will serve South Australia exceptionally well.
With Emma by his side, I know they will embrace this opportunity to serve and make an exceptional contribution to our state.
Congratulations Grant โ we look forward to the swearing-in on 9 December.
