Fiona Simpson MP – Member for Maroochydore
Proud Supporter of SunnyKids and the Sunshine Coast Community
Fiona Simpson MP, the Member for Maroochydore, has dedicated her career to serving the Sunshine Coast community. As the Minister for Women and Women’s Economic Security, Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, and Minister for Multiculturalism, Fiona plays a pivotal role in advocating for the needs of her region while championing inclusivity, equality, and growth.
She is committed to serving the community she represents. “I am passionate about delivering the infrastructure needed to support the growth of our regional economy, supporting small businesses to grow more local jobs, easing the cost-of-living burdens and keeping our Sunshine Coast liveable and beautiful,” Fiona shares.
Fiona has been a proud P100 member with SunnyKids for over three years, inspired by the incredible work the organisation does to support vulnerable children and families. “SunnyKids plays such a critical role in looking after the community,” she says. “Knowing I can support to their mission of helping vulnerable children and families is incredibly important.”
For Fiona, being a part of SunnyKids is about more than just giving back; it’s about standing alongside other passionate individuals who share a common goal of improving lives across the Sunshine Coast. “Being among people who care deeply about our community and want the best for the Sunshine Coast is always a significant focus of mine,” she says.
A highlight of Fiona’s role is her daily engagement with the community. Whether it’s advocating for better public transport, ensuring the Sunshine Coast benefits from Olympic infrastructure, or simply listening to locals about how to make the region even better, Fiona is dedicated to her motto: service above self.
A fun fact about Fiona? She speaks conversational Japanese and loves to sing—often performing at events across the Coast, where her voice and passion for connection bring people together.
SunnyKids is grateful for Fiona’s ongoing support and proud to have her as part of the P100 Village, working hand in hand to build a brighter future for the Sunshine Coast.
