In their own words

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.
