McLachlan was the AFL chief executive for a decade during which he contributed to significant revenue growth and oversaw its expansion.
He will join Tabcorp on Aug. 5 and assume the roles of CEO and MD upon receiving regulatory approvals, the company said. He will receive an annual fixed remuneration of AU$ 1.5 million.
