Dr Sarah Mansfield

Hi, I'm Sarah Mansfield.

As Victoria’s first regional Greens MP, I am honoured to represent the diverse, vibrant rural and coastal communities of Western Victoria.

I worked as a GP and a local councillor prior to being elected to State Parliament, and my time serving our community, particularly as a GP, exposed me to just how clearly inequality impacts health.

Together with Western Victorians, I want to change the system from one that favours corporate profit to one that works for people and the planet. I’ll continue to stand against inequality and discrimination, and push for properly funded public services we all need to live a decent life. I’ll keep fighting alongside our communities to end offshore gas drilling in our precious oceans, and to protect native habitats.

I currently hold the portfolios as the Victorian Greens spokesperson for health and mental health, water, sustainable cities and planning, local government, waste and circular economy, AI and data centres, coal to renewables transition, and agriculture.

Western Victoria is one of the most desirable places to live in Australia.

But we must act urgently to address critical threats to our health and wellbeing in Western Victoria.

I am committed to tackling the climate crisis by replacing coal and gas with 100% renewable energy by 2030, and protecting our precious waterways and oceans for future generations to enjoy.

Since being elected, I’ve been able to stand with the community in Lara fighting a massive, polluting incinerator, and support the people of Anglesea in their campaign to save their river. I’ve paddled out with Traditional Owners and coast dwellers to oppose seismic blasting. I’ve worked with countless exceptional people who are campaigning to protect earth and her inhabitants.

Our region has been left behind, and we need major improvements in affordable housing, public transport, access to health and dental care, and urgent climate action.

The Greens will always stand with community for equality, justice, and for the planet we all share.
