Fiona Carrick is an Australian politician who has served as a member of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly for the electorate of Murrumbidgee since 2024.[1]

Political career

From 2016 to 2024, Carrick served as the president of the Woden Valley Community Council.[2]

Carrick contested the 2020 Australian Capital Territory election, attracting the largest share of the vote for an independent candidate. She came fourth in initial preferences, but ultimately failed to be elected following preference flows.[2][3]

Carrick ran again in the 2024 election, this time for the "Fiona Carrick Independent" party.[3] She was successful, and alongside Independents for Canberra leader Thomas Emerson, became the first independents elected to the ACT Legislative Assembly in 23 years.[4][5]
