Josh Andersen-Ward

Candidate for Badcoe

Hi, I’m Josh Andersen-Ward

I’m running because South Australia needs honest leadership that puts people and community first. Together, we can create a cleaner, fairer, and more accountable future, built on integrity, equality, and environmental responsibility.

I’ve lived in inner-city Adelaide for nearly 20 years and understand what makes our community special, its diversity, creativity, and resilience. Badcoe deserves strong representation that genuinely listens and delivers. I’m running because government must do more to address the issues that affect us all, from affordable housing and cost-of-living pressures to public transport, secure jobs, and climate action that matches the scale of the challenge.

I’m a lawyer with experience in public-sector governance, environmental law, and accountability. I’ve worked with the Commonwealth Ombudsman, SA Water, the University of South Australia, and CSIRO, and served as Treasurer of the South Australian Indigenous Legal Professionals Association. I hold a Bachelor of Laws, a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, and am completing a Master of Accounting and Finance.

Politics should serve the public, not corporate interests. I bring legal expertise, a record of integrity, and a deep belief in fair, transparent government that works for people, not profit.
