Meet Ali

Your Federal Member for Dickson

Mum. Journalist. Para-athlete.

Hi, I’m Ali, your Federal Member for Dickson.  

A former journalist and world champion para-canoeist, I’m passionate about providing cost-of-living relief and access to affordable, accessible healthcare for people in Moreton Bay. 

I lost my leg in 2011 when a car ran into me in a shopping centre car park while I was pushing my son Zac in a pram. This life altering accident led me to become a passionate advocate for healthcare and people with a disability.  

In 2024, despite the very best health care, my son Henry passed following a battle with leukemia. I know just how important Medicare is and I’ll always fight to protect it.

Representing the people of Dickson is an incredible honour. I love living in Moreton Bay and will continue to work every day for more and better services for our region.  

If you would like to know more about my story, you can watch my first speech to Parliament here.
