Who I am

About Harry

I’m a father of three and a long-time Clarkson resident, raising my family here with my wife Alexa.

Through years of volunteering and community involvement, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside local families during some of life’s most important moments — from the early years at playgroup, through school communities, and beyond.

I’ve seen the incredible strength of our community, but I’ve also seen families struggle to navigate disconnected services, advocate for support their children need, or simply feel heard when systems let them down.

That’s why I speak up. Whether it’s advocating for safer communities, helping families access support, strengthening local schools and community groups, or standing up for people who feel unheard, I believe everyone deserves someone willing to listen and act.

I believe communities thrive when people feel connected, when decisions are made fairly and transparently, and when we look out for one another. Strong communities are built through the contributions of volunteers, local organisations, schools and the small businesses that create jobs, sponsor community events, and help our neighbourhoods flourish.

I love living in the northern suburbs. It’s where Alexa and I are raising our three children, where I’ve built lifelong friendships through community involvement, and where I’ve seen neighbours consistently step up for one another. I believe our area deserves advocates who understand both its strengths and the challenges that come with a rapidly growing community.

I’ve seen firsthand the difference that community support can make in people’s lives. That’s why I believe in showing up, listening, and standing alongside people when they need someone in their corner.

What I stand for

The things worth fighting for — not just at election time.

Broad, lasting commitments that guide everything I do for local families and our community.

Families & Early Years

Ensuring families can access support early and close to home, giving every child the strongest possible start in life.

02

Connected Communities

Supporting the local organisations, schools, volunteers, community groups and small businesses that strengthen neighbourhood connections and help our communities thrive.

03

Inclusion & Accessibility

Working towards a community where everyone can participate fully, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance.

04

Local Services & Infrastructure

Advocating for the services, facilities and infrastructure our growing communities need - from safer roads and public spaces to accessible local support services.

05

Fairness & Transparency

Calling for open, honest decision-making and a fair go for residents - and speaking up when people are being let down.

06

Stronger Communities

Encouraging volunteerism, local leadership, neighbourly connection and support for local enterprise to build communities where people feel they belong.

In the community

Community Involvement

I believe advocacy starts with showing up.

Over the years, I've volunteered with local schools, community organisations, family groups, and service clubs because lasting change happens when people work together.

Currently involved with
  • Somerly Primary School Board
  • Rotary Mindarie
  • Somerly P&C
  • Local Playgroups
  • The Fathering Project

Some of the ways I'm involved include:

  • Supporting local schools and advocating for students and families.
  • Coordinating community programs that bring parents together and support young children.
  • Working alongside local organisations and volunteers delivering practical support and strengthening community connections across our suburbs.
  • Championing inclusion and helping families navigate additional needs and disability supports.
  • Encouraging stronger connections between neighbours through volunteering and community initiatives.
  • Advocating for safer neighbourhoods, improved local services, and the infrastructure needed to support a growing community.
