About Susanna
Susanna Panaia is your local Liberal candidate for Perth.
Susanna’s upbringing was shaped by hardworking parents and grandparents who immigrated from Italy to Australia. They instilled in her the values of diligence, personal responsibility, and community service.
Susanna and her husband have made Western Australia their home, where they plan to build their future and raise their family.
Susanna’s professional journey has been diverse. She has worked at the highest levels of the Federal Government, shaping policies that support small businesses to thrive and create jobs.
She has also contributed to improving government processes at the state level as a consultant, and currently works in local government, dedicated to making the community safer.
From a young age, Susanna engaged in fundraising efforts alongside her family. She remains committed to supporting organisations that strengthen the community, such as Rotary International and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of WA.
As part of the Liberal team, she is committed to lowering the cost of living, reducing red tape for small businesses, a rational energy policy, and addressing the housing crisis.
Susanna has the energy and the experience to be a strong advocate for the community.
She looks forward to working together to make Perth an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
