Carryn Elizabeth Sullivan (born 6 September 1955) is an Australian politician. Born at Millmerran, she achieved a Bachelor of Education and a diploma in primary school teaching. She was a Caboolture Shire Councillor from 1991 until she retired in 1994, and was secretary of the Bribie Island branch of the Australian Labor Party. In 2001, she was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Pumicestone, which she has represented since.[1]
Her husband, Jon Sullivan, is a former MLA for Caboolture and former MP for the federal division of Longman.
In her early years as a politician, she found it difficult to get notoriety among her peers, because she was younger than most of the others working in her same department. Through the years, she has gained influence in the Queensland Legislative Assembly .
