My Background

Hon Dr Parwinder Kaur is a scientist, advocate, and political leader committed to advancing science, community, and inclusive leadership.  

 

Her journey from the lab bench to the Western Australian Legislative Council—as a first-generation migrant, mother, and woman of colour—reflects her passion for innovation and transformative change.  

 

Elected in May 2025 as a Member of the Legislative Council for WA Labor, she brings a voice for progress and inclusion. 

Recognised with awards—including the Australian Academy of Sciences’ Science and Innovation Award (2013), Microsoft’s AI for Earth Award (2019), and induction into the Western Australia Women’s Hall of Fame (2023)—Dr Kaur champions diversity in STEM and evidence-based policy. 

 

As Deputy Chair of Committees and member of the Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs, she believes that science and service together can create a better future for all.
