Hi, I'm Dr Sophie

I am your federal MP for Mackellar. I have lived and worked here on the Northern Beaches for 25 years and before becoming your Independent MP, I served the community as a doctor in the Emergency Department of Mona Vale Hospital and practiced as a GP in Narrabeen. As an Independent MP for Mackellar I am standing up for our community in Parliament and pushing for action on the issues that you care about with honesty and integrity.

Keep up to date with how I’m representing our community.

Policy Priorities for Mackellar

We Need A National Plan To Reduce Plastic and make BIG polluters pay.

We Need A National Plan To Reduce Plastic and make BIG polluters pay.

Australia's packaging system is broken. Nearly four years after promising stronger national packaging laws, governments have failed to deliver, and Australia has missed every packaging target set in 2018.

The cost of inaction is growing. Plastic is polluting our oceans, driving emissions, and breaking down into microplastics now found in our food, water and bodies.

The solution already exists: a mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility Scheme that makes the companies producing packaging responsible for its full lifecycle, not Australian households.
