Delivering for Sturt

I am Claire, your new Federal Member for Sturt. In 2025, I proudly became the first woman elected to represent our electorate.

Together with my husband, stepdaughter and cats Boo and Tay, I am proud to call Sturt home. I am a keen runner and you may see me hitting the pavement in the early mornings in our Sturt reserves.

My career has taken me across Australia, Asia and the Middle East as a lawyer, and later into Australia's defence industry, where I worked on projects critical to our national security.

Guided by a strong belief in service, I have also contributed to my community through the Royal Flying Doctor Service (SA/NT) and as an elected local councillor on the Norwood Payneham and St Peters Council.

I represent Sturt on several parliamentary committees in Canberra while also delivering exactly what Sturt needs - a strong voice that wants to make a difference and work hard.

If you live in Sturt, I would love to hear from you. Whether you have a story to share, an issue to raise, or something happening in the community that you think I should know about, please get in touch. Your voice is always welcome, and my team and I are here to listen and help.
