Victorian Labor senator Linda White has died following a health battle.
The exact cause of death has yet to be made public.
Senator White was elected to the upper house at the 2022 federal election.
In February, she announced she would take leave from the Senate due to health issues.
Before entering federal politics, she worked for 10 years as a solicitor, while also serving as the assistant national secretary of the Australian Services Union from 1995 to 2020.
She also spent a 10-year period as the vice president of the ACTU.
