Science & Technology Australia is proud to launch the second round of its successful STEM Ambassador program, expanding to cover 20 federal electorates.

The inaugural Ambassadors come from a wide range of science, technology, and engineering jobs, and represent nine electorates across Australia.

STEM Ambassadors receive training and support to work directly with their local MPs to promote understanding of science and technology, and support the involvement of science in Australian politics and decision making.

Candice Raeburn is the STEM Ambassador in Wills (Victoria). She has been working to provide the local member, Peter Khalil MP, with better access to scientific research, data and evidence.
