Andrew Austin

First and foremost, I am a husband and father of two amazing girls. I am a very happy and fortunate resident in the hills of Normandale, Lower Hutt having spent most of my life in Wellington.

My professional work is in wealth management, translated loosely as the management of financial assets. For many years I have been working closely with the boards and finance committees of a number of nationwide not-for-profit organisations helping with the prudent long-term management of their important assets. I also enjoy spending some of my volunteer time in chairperson and trustee roles for charitable organisations and previously served on the CCS Disability Action National Board.

One in four New Zealanders identify as disabled and CCS Disability Action is a major contributor to Enabling Good Lives principles for this 25 per cent of our population.

I’m privileged to be involved.
