Rebecca is the Animal Justice Party’s endorsed candidate for Oxley at the 2027 NSW State Election. A registered paramedic, small business owner and passionate animal advocate, Rebecca believes how we treat animals, support people and care for our environment says a lot about who we are as a community.

Animals have always been at the heart of Rebecca’s values. She believes they deserve to live free from exploitation and suffering. Through her active involvement in AJP advocacy and outreach, including campaigning for better protections for animals in entertainment, Rebecca is working towards meaningful, lasting change for all sentient beings.

Rebecca’s commitment to compassion and practical action has been shaped by a diverse life and career. After completing a Bachelor of Arts in Management, she left the UK in 1998 to explore the world. Travels through Southeast Asia led her to become a Divemaster before settling in Fiji, where her passion for marine conservation grew. She initiated a shark conservation project, worked with Fiji’s Department of Fisheries towards protecting a marine reserve, and scripted and co-hosted a 13-episode television series exploring Fiji’s underwater world.

After moving to Australia, Rebecca worked in education and managed international study tours at the University of Wollongong before completing a Bachelor of Health Science in Paramedicine. Through her work as a paramedic, she understands the barriers people in regional communities can face in accessing care and support, and the importance of prevention and practical, evidence-based solutions.

Now living on acreage on the Mid North Coast, Rebecca has witnessed the lasting impacts of the 2019 bushfires. Heartened by the resilience of the bush and the strength of local communities, these experiences have reinforced her belief in the importance of looking out for one another and caring for the places we call home.

Rebecca’s priorities for Oxley include supporting farmers to transition towards more humane and sustainable food systems through TransFARMation, improving access to veterinary care through Veticare, addressing the links between domestic violence and animal abuse, and advocating for stronger protections for animals in entertainment. She believes these issues are not just abstract policy matters, but concerns that directly affect the wellbeing and livelihoods of families, animals and the environment.

Inspired by the work of Animal Justice Party MP Emma Hurst, Rebecca is committed to building on the party’s achievements and ensuring regional voices are heard. She believes protecting animals, supporting people and caring for the environment go hand in hand, and that good politics must consider all three.
