The commission will work closely with senior and junior leagues, clubs and umpires.
It is one of 13 regional commissions established throughout Victoria under AFL Victoria's new country football administration structure.
Experienced football man Jeff Kimber takes the chair in the inaugural South East commission.
Kimber is a former chairman of the Riverland FL in South Australia, former finance director of the Western Border league, inaugural president of Echuca United FNC and has held roles at Sale and Wonthaggi Rovers clubs.
He has a strong corporate background with 30 years in finance and four years in aquaculture before settling in Mornington, where he runs a news agency.
