I’m proud to have selected Romany Brooks as the 2023 electorate Woman of the Year for her tireless efforts in empowering Sydney’s LGBTIQA+ community and her support for so many arts, education and health charitable organisations. She is also a respected business leader in the real estate industry.

Romany is a board member of not-for-profit QTOPIA, which is establishing Sydney’s own Queer museum. She is also a supporter of the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation and was an active voice during the campaign for marriage equality, among other ongoing achievements and commitments in the LGBTIQA+ community. She continues to lend her skills as a charity auctioneer for some of Sydney’s highest-profile events including the NIDA Chairman's Dinner, Sydney Dance Company's Dance Noir, and at fundraisers for The Australian Children’s Music Foundation and The Aurora Education Foundation.
