The Library is proud to announce the appointment of Senator Dr Jess Walsh to the Council, who joined us on 25 March 2024 for a three-year term.  

Senator Walsh was elected as a Senator for Victoria in 2019 after a distinguished career as a researcher, campaigner, and union leader. She brings a wealth of valuable experience to the National Library Council to help us enhance learning, knowledge creation, enjoyment and understanding of Australian life and society by providing access to a national collection of library material. 

The Library is grateful to have Senator Walsh onboard. You can read more about her experience here.

The National Library of Australia acknowledges Australia’s First Nations Peoples – the First Australians – as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land and gives respect to the Elders – past and present – and through them to all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
