Tanya Davies

Tanya Davies is your Liberal Member for Badgerys Creek.

Serving and helping other people has been a theme of my life. Whether it was the humble beginnings as a shop assistant selling chicken and chips in Newcastle where I grew up, or treating people in the public health system as a new physiotherapy graduate, I have always worked in roles where I have helped others to succeed.

In 2008 I was elected to Penrith City Council as the Councillor for East Ward.

In March 2011, I was elected to the NSW Parliament as the new Member for Mulgoa, representing the Liberal Party of Australia with a swing of 23%. During my first four years in State Parliament I managed to present 286 speeches, questions and responses while in the chamber as the Member. I also served as the Deputy Chair of the Legislative Assembly Committee on Environment and Regulation.

In March 2015, I was re-elected to the NSW Parliament and privileged to serve as the Parliamentary Secretary for Youth Affairs and Homelessness.

In January 2017, I was appointed as Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Women, and Minister for Ageing.

In March of 2019 and 2023 I was deeply humbled when my electorate overwhelmingly returned me to serve them as the Member for Badgerys Creek. I am passionate about our region in western Sydney and will continue to strongly advocate that the infrastructure, services and lifestyle are second-to-none. With the new Western Sydney Airport located in the centre of my electorate the opportunities for more jobs, better careers and a higher quality of life are possible.

My husband, Mark, and I are raising our two children in western Sydney. As a mother, I have a genuine interest in making sure all children across NSW grow up in a safe, strong and caring community with hope for a brighter and more prosperous future.
