Cecily Ann Rosol is an Australian politician for the Tasmanian Greens representing the division of Bass in the House of Assembly since the 2024 Tasmanian state election. Prior to her election, Rosol ran a counselling business called "Thrive Launceston",[2] and has previously worked as a registered nurse.[3]
Rosol holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Nursing) from the University of Newcastle and a Graduate Diploma of Counselling from the University of New England.[2]
Political career[edit]
Prior to 2024, Rosol unsuccessfully contested multiple elections for the Greens, including:
- Bass in the 2021 Tasmanian state election[4]
- Bass in the 2022 Australian federal election[5]
- City of Launceston Council in the 2022 Tasmanian Local Government elections[6]
- Launceston in the 2023 Tasmanian Legislative Council periodic election[7]
When the House of Assembly was restored to 35 seats at the 2024 Tasmanian state election, Rosol was elected to the 5th seat in Bass.[8] This saw a 2.8% swing towards Greens candidates in the electorate.[9] Prior to her election, Bass had not had a Greens representative since the defeat of Andrea Dawkins in the 2018 Tasmania state election.
