The Role of Independents in Community Reforms

Remember, our events are for everyone!  Come along, network, and learn something new.

Join us for a discussion with Kate Chaney MP on her time so far as a Community Independent in the House of Representatives. Hear from her on how she works with her community to push for important reforms such as housing, aged care, gambling and climate action.

In 2022 Kate was elected on a platform of climate action, integrity, future-focused economic management, and a commitment to building connected, inclusive communities.

As an Independent, Kate’s policies are informed by the voices of the Curtin community rather than a party. She holds regular public catch-ups with her constituents to hear their thoughts on various issues and actively engages with her community to hear their feedback on specific issues such as refugees, aged care, NDIS, and housing.

Prior to her time in Parliament, Kate worked as a lawyer, a strategy consultant for The Boston Consulting Group, in the corporate sector and in the community services sector in a range of strategy, innovation and social impact roles.  She has also been on a number of not for profit boards, including Next 25, Awesome Arts and Lifeline WA.
