trudy tschui councillor

I was born and raised in Tully and in my younger days, I was lucky enough to live and work in various cities in Queensland, enjoying a career in both hairdressing and hospitality. My sense of adventure led me to living in the UK for over five years and in 1995 on my return to the Cassowary Coast I opened my hair salon in Mission Beach which I owned and operated until I became a Councillor in 2020. I am proud to have also raised my two children on the Cassowary Coast, and my husband works in the agriculture industry, which has afforded me a unique insight into this industry. I’m a passionate advocate for victims of domestic violence as founder of ‘The Handbag Project’, and in 2020 I was proud to be one of 130 individuals and organisations across Queensland to be inducted into the Queensland’s inaugural Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Honour Roll.

This is Councillor Tschui’s second term as Division 3 Councillor.
