Trish Cook MP 

Hi! I’m Trish Cook MP, the first-ever Member for Bullwinkel and proudly the 10th nurse in the Australian Parliament. 

Bullwinkel is a newly established electorate in Western Australia, named in honour of Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel, an extraordinary nurse and a WWII hero. She was the sole survivor of the Bangka Island Massacre in 1942, when 21 of her fellow Australian Army nurses were tragically killed on Bangka Island. 

As a registered nurse and midwife, I've dedicated my career to advocating for patients, and now I'm honoured to bring that spirit to Canberra, representing the people of Bullwinkel.
 I've lived in the Perth Hills for nearly two decades, I'm deeply committed to our community, from grassroots volunteering to being a Councillor, and as Deputy Shire President for eight years in the Shire of Mundaring. 

On this channel, I’ll share my journey representing the diverse and dynamic Bullwinkel electorate. Thank you for joining me!
