Rahim Mohammadi

Salam! I am Rahim, an embodiment of my name which means merciful in Arabic. I am the newest member of the G11 group and the youngest. I arrived to Australia as a refugee from Afghanistan. I am a relentless advocate for change and am determined to impact the world around me positively. I bring enthusiasm and energy to every endeavour I make, and I hope we can all work together to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all. I believe in the sanctity and value of life, and I do everything I can to improve people’s lives.

I am a Psychology graduate from QUT who utilises my lived experience and expertise with mental health to drive systemic change. I am involved with over 20 organisations via advocacy and advisory groups across Australia. Through these organisations, I devote my time to important issues such as mental health and suicidality, CALD representation, youth representation, refugee and disability rights, child and family safety, and youth justice. I am committed to enacting change by engaging with local parliament members, government departments, and other key stakeholders.

When I’m not advocating for change, you can find me indulging in my creative side by writing poetry or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
