After finishing her schooling at Kelmscott Senior High School, Rita Saffioti gained a Bachelor of Business at Curtin University before moving to Canberra to work at the Department of Finance, and then returning to WA to work at the Department of Treasury.

In 1997 Rita commenced working for then Opposition Leader Geoff Gallop as an economic advisor, continuing this role into Government before ultimately becoming Chief of Staff to Premier Alan Carpenter.

Rita was elected to State Parliament in 2008 for the electorate of West Swan, and following the 2017 election became the Minister for Transport and Planning.

Rita has three young children, and when not at Parliament can usually be found with her family at the footy, cheering on her team the Fremantle Dockers.
