| About Albert |
![]() Albert Jacob was elected as the inaugural member for the Western Australian (State) seat of Ocean Reef on the 6th of September, 2008. He initially grew up in rural Wanneroo where his parents were small business owners, running a successful machine tools business that mainly serviced the mining industry. Albert studied and worked as an Horticulturalist for several years before choosing to study Architecture as a mature age student. He has completed a Bachelor of Environmental Design at the University of Western Australia. It was during this time Albert realised that if he wanted to see his community change for the better, then he needed to stand up to effect that change. This motivated him to successfully stand for Joondalup City Council in the North Central Ward where he was honoured to serve for nearly three years before being elected to State Parliament. At 28, he was the youngest member of the thirty-eighth Parliament and the youngest Liberal elected to the Western Australia Parliament in over 50 years. In addition to being a local elected member, for the past 3 years Albert has also served as Deputy Chair and now Chair on the Joondalup Health Campus Community Board of Advice, the hospital where his wife works as a Nurse on the Critical Care unit. Albert’s other committee and community activities include Chairing the Tamala Park Coastal Reserve Community Advisory Committee and serving as a local Justice of the Peace. He was the inaugural Deputy Chair of the Ocean Reef Marina Committee and is now also the Deputy Chair of the Community Development and Justice Parliamentary Standing Committee. |
