CIT CEO Margot McNeill awarded about $445,000 upon resignation
Margot McNeill announced her resignation yesterday after months of controversy surrounding her recruitment as chief executive at the Canberra Institute of Technology.
Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) Chair Tom Rogers announced that former CEO Margot McNeill received approximately $445,000 in compensation upon her resignation following months of controversy. McNeill's appointment in June 2025 was disputed due to her failure to disclose an investigation into misconduct during her time at TAFE NSW.
In May, an ACT Legislative Assembly inquiry recommended her resignation for not disclosing the information to the CIT board in a timely manner. CIT accepted McNeill's resignation, and the board determined the settlement figure following a review of various factors.
