Ms Ingrid Stitt

Before entering Parliament, Ingrid fought for low paid workers across the private and public sectors. She was Secretary for the Victorian Branch of the Australian Services Union between 2004 and 2018.

Ingrid's family has lived in Melbourne's west for more than 30 years. She wants to ensure it remains a great place to live, work and raise a family. This is what prompted her to run for Parliament.

The priorities Ingrid has for her community are to ensure all families have access to world-class public hospitals, schools, early learning facilities, transport infrastructure, and green open spaces. She is also deeply committed to supporting the growth of safe and secure local jobs in Melbourne’s growing western suburbs, and ensuring that vulnerable community members have the support they need.

Ingrid is passionate about delivering person centered care across both the mental health system and our health services as Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Minister for Ambulance Services. Victoria's healthcare system is world class and her focus is ensuring every Victorian has the access they need. Ingrid values the hard work and dedication of our workforce in delivering high quality care that Victorians can rely on and will work to ensure that health services deliver the best outcomes for Victorians. As Special Minister of State, Ingrid believes that integrity is non-negotiable and she is proud to be strengthening Victoria's integrity agencies.
