Hi, I'm Catherine

I am a local mum, mental health worker and activist wanting to be a positive voice for policies which brings us all closer to a safe, fair and equal community. I have lived in Dandenong for 23 years and raised my three children here, and I refuse to watch our community be left behind by systemic neglect. We have a vibrant, multicultural hub, with such great potential. However, our community faces the highest rates of homelessness, housing stress, poverty, racism and economic neglect. I am running a campaign that draws on our many strengths and demands better for our youth, families and diverse communities. 

Dandenong deserves a strong and compassionate voice to represent us, so in this state election I am running with the Greens to protect public housing and advocate for better affordable healthcare.
