Jess Harper

Candidate for Greater Geelong City Council - Cheetham Ward

hi, i'm jess.

I am a proud member of the vibrant Geelong community, married to my loving wife and raising our daughter in our family home in the Cheetham ward.

I have experience working in governance and advocating for our community. I am the CEO for one of Australia’s largest Disability Peak Bodies and I am deeply committed to improving the lives of people with a disability, their families and careers. I am a Fellow at the Institute of Managers and Leaders, a Graduate Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Member of the Governance Institute of Australia

As a proud parent with a young family, I am driven by a vision of Geelong as a place where every resident can thrive.

As your councillor, I will fight for social services, housing and protecting Geelong’s beautiful environment for future generations.

Together, let's build a future for our city where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to contribute.
