About Emma
As a defence spouse for 14 years and a working mum to two primary school aged children, I know the challenges and rewards the military lifestyle brings with moves, deployments, MWDU and a lot of long distance Skype calls. We all have our own unique experiences and stories to share being part of a defence family and I am very proud to be part of such a great community.
As the recently appointed Delegate for ACT and Southern NSW, I look forward to meeting all types of Defence families in my region, working to support and advocate for them. Please feel free to email me at any time.
