Ian Harkness, Candidate for Ballarat

 

Born and raised in Victoria, Ian Harkness has lived in both regional Victoria and Melbourne before finally settling in Ballarat. With a wealth of hands-on experience across various industries, Ian is a true jack-of-all-trades. His diverse skills span motor mechanics, metalwork, house building, farm work, sheet metal fabrication, spray painting, industrial chemistry, and customer service. He has even built caravans and worked as a carer for the severely disabled.

Deeply community-oriented and family-focused, Ian is a quiet achiever who is always ready to roll up his sleeves and lend a hand. His dedication to serving others has led him to volunteer in remote areas, including the Australian outback and Papua New Guinea, where he thrived in finding solutions to challenges with limited resources—earning the respect and admiration of the local people.

Ian’s heart for the community is evident through his work with food banks and his unwavering commitment to helping those in need. As a Family First candidate, he is passionate about strengthening families, supporting the vulnerable, and ensuring Ballarat remains a place where people can thrive.
