Hi, I'm Michael Dudek, your local Liberal for Joondalup.
Growing up in Perth’s northern suburbs as one of nine children, I learned the importance of hard work and education from a young age. My step-dad studied economics at ECU Joondalup while working, and my Mum built a business from scratch while caring for our family. This dedication from my parents showed me the value of perseverance in making ends meet.
With extensive experience in my family’s Joondalup business, consulting to other enterprises, I know firsthand the challenges that small businesses face. I understand the critical need for economic policies that support growth and drive local prosperity.
I am passionate about giving back to the community. I’m committed to supporting our youth and fostering a stronger, more inclusive society that keeps them engaged, healthier and optimistic about their futures.
I have volunteered in tutoring first-generation Australians and Indigenous teenagers. As a player and coach, I have also worked to drive growth in participation of youth in sport.
I currently serve as a Local Government Councillor and on the WA Local Government Association, representing Joondalup, Stirling, and Wanneroo.
Revitalising the Joondalup centre, preserving our pristine coastline and completing the Ocean Reef Marina are key priorities for me. These are crucial for enhancing economic growth and our community’s quality of life.
As a member of the Liberal team, I’m fighting for real action on the cost of living, better access to health services, more resources to crack down on crime, and support for local businesses and entrepreneurs to create jobs.
Together, let’s build a safer, stronger, and thriving Joondalup.
Out in our community
