The Hon. Ros Spence MP is the Member for Kalkallo in the Victorian Legislative Assembly and a dedicated advocate for Melbourne’s rapidly growing northern communities. Ros was first elected to Parliament in 2014 as the Member for Yuroke, serving until the electorate’s abolition in 2022, when she became the inaugural Member for the new electorate of Kalkallo.

Ros has built her career on strong community advocacy. Before entering Parliament, she worked as an electorate officer across state and federal offices, served as Operations Manager for the Victorian branch of the Australian Labor Party, and volunteered as a solicitor at the Broadmeadows Community Legal Centre. She also represented the community on Hume City Council from 2008 to 2012, including terms as Deputy Mayor and Mayor.

Ros currently serves in several significant Cabinet roles as Minister for Youth Justice, Minister for Corrections, Minister for Victims Support, and Minister for Community Sport.

Together, these responsibilities reflect her commitment to justice, safety, opportunity and strong, connected communities across Victoria.

Ros lives locally with her family and remains focused on delivering world-class infrastructure, schools, services and opportunities for families in Melbourne’s north.
