Hi, I'm Dr Monique Ryan.

On 21 May, the voters of Kooyong made an historic decision to support an Independent community candidate, a fresh voice committed to urgent action on climate change, embracing the economic benefits of the transition to renewable energy, and support for integrity in politics. 

I’m not a career politician. I stepped away from my role as Director of Neurology at the Royal Children’s Hospital because I believed that our community deserved a local member who would represent their values in Canberra. 

I will honour the trust you have placed in me and pledge to represent my Kooyong community with honesty, integrity and courage.
