Personal details
PartyLabor

Eden Foster (born 1981) is an Australian politician who has served in the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the member for Mulgrave since 2023.[1]

Political career

Foster joined the Victorian Labor Party in 2019, and was elected to the City of Greater Dandenong in Yarraman Ward at the 2020 Victorian local elections.[2] In November 2022, she was elected as mayor by a vote of fellow councillors.[3][4]

On 6 October 2023, Foster was chosen as Labor's candidate for the Mulgrave by-election following the resignation of incumbent MP and premier Daniel Andrews.[5] She was subsequently comfortably elected, becoming the first woman to represent the Division of Mulgrave.[6]

The by-election for Yarraman Ward, triggered by Foster's resignation from council, was won by Phillip Danh in March 2024.[7][8]

Foster is a member of the Parliament of Victoria's Integrity and Oversight Committee.[9]

Personal life

Foster's mother was born in India and father is Australian. Prior to her election, Foster was a school psychologist at a Catholic school in North Melbourne.[10]

In 2024, soon after her election, Foster detected a lump on her neck. She sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer.[11][12] Foster took a short break for treatment before returning to work. She was supported by Member for Dandenong, Labor’s Gabrielle Williams, who shaved her head to raise money for the Cancer Council, raising $17,000.[13]
