Heidi Girolamo
Australian politician
Heidi Margaret Girolamo (born 30 December 1983) is an Australian politician. She was appointed to the South Australian Legislative Council representing the Liberal Party on 24 August 2021, to fill a casual vacancy caused by the resignation of David Ridgway. She is Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the Legislative Council.
On 12 December 2025, it was announced that Girolamo would take on the role of Shadow Minister for Health and Wellbeing, which includes mental health and suicide prevention. The portfolio was previously held by Liberal Leader Ashton Hurn MP.
Previously she was the Shadow Minister for Finance, Shadow Minister for Trade and Investment and Shadow Minister for the Circular Economy.
Prior to joining the parliament, Girolamo was a chartered accountant and worked at Deloitte Risk Advisory as a client manager. Girolamo was also Treasurer and Board Member of Kidsafe SA, a charity focused on accident and injury prevention for children, from June 2014 to August 2021. Additionally, she was the Vice President of the Liberal Party of Australia (South Australian Division), and is associated with the Right faction of the South Australian Liberal Party.
Girolamo was born and raised in Adelaide, with family living in regional South Australia. Girolamo also has a keen interest in focusing on early intervention services because of the importance of prevention across health, wellbeing, education and child protection.

Why this record matters
The phrase “australian politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108327458. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2021, 2025 and 2014.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
