Minister Katy Gallagher has dedicated her working life to improving the lives of Canberrans, whether it was advocating for people with disability as a community worker, standing up for the rights of public servants as a Community and Public Sector Union Organiser or delivering for every Canberran as the Chief Minister of the ACT.

As a Minister in the ACT Government and later as Chief Minister, Katy led a progressive and future-focused government. As Chief Minister, Katy legislated marriage equality, started Australia’s first public nurse-led walk-in medical centres and committed the Government to a 100% renewable energy target by 2020.
