Rebecca Prince
Labor Candidate for Clark
Rebecca Prince has spent 15 years working in the Federal Public Service, interacting with the most vulnerable people in our society and working to improve their lives.
Rebecca lives with a disability and is uniquely placed to advocate on behalf of people whose voices are not often heard in the corridors of power.
Rebecca is driven by the challenges she has encountered as a deaf woman and is passionate about issues affecting others living with a disability, as well as working to improve the housing and homelessness crisis and the treatment of women.
Both her own work and lived experience fighting to be seen and heard, have given her an enormous insight into the need for affordable and accessible healthcare, and in particular, the need for vastly improved mental health care.
As well as reducing waitlists for government housing and emergency crisis accommodation, Rebecca is determined to play a role in achieving gender equality and working to end the scourge of violence against women.
Rebecca knows there is much work to be done to achieve true equality, but believes this can be achieved by working together with business and the community to close the gender pay gap, reduce violence against women, reach equal representation in leadership roles and achieve real improvements in health and wellbeing.
