Roxanne Morrissey

Executive Officer

Raised and educated in Perth for schooling and university studies, Roxanne has spent most of her life in rural WA. The majority of this time was spent in remote WA, owning and running a pastoral property in the lower Murchison with her husband and four children. Through her own experiences plus interactions with other rural women, Roxanne is very familiar with the demands placed on women in agricultural businesses.

As an active member of the community Roxanne has been part of various committees and organisations. A strong belief in equity of access to rural education led to a great involvement with the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association (ICPA) with president roles at both the state and federal levels. Roxanne has also been involved with policy and standards formation, rural representation and advocacy, agricultural producer trials and initiated numerous local workshops for rural producers.

Now residing on a property south of Harvey, Roxanne enjoys maintaining a connection to other rural women through her work with Women in Farming. Her strong belief in the importance of active communication, guides her relationship with Women in Farming members and branches.
