Maria Kovacic is the Liberal candidate for Parramatta.

A Western Sydney local, successful small business owner and mum, Maria understands the challenges and aspirations of families in Parramatta, including balancing work and family and striving to give children the opportunities to get ahead.

Maria established and ran her own successful mortgage and finance business. She has seen first-hand the benefits of home ownership for families in Western Sydney and across NSW.

Maria has a proven track record of supporting local small business owners. She knows a strong economy helps small businesses to thrive and create local jobs. Maria was inspired to use her skills to support other women and businesses.

Maria co-founded Western Sydney Executive Women, and has served as Chair of the Hills Community Aid. She has also been on the steering committee of Parramatta Eels’ Women@Eels.

Now Maria wants to use her experience and passion for Western Sydney to be a strong local voice in Canberra. As part of the Liberal Team, Maria will work to reduce cost of living pressures, improve local roads and transport, and to deliver a strong economy and a stronger future.
