Anna Booth (born 1955) is an Australian who became the Fair Work Ombudsman in 2023.

[1] Booth joined the Clothing and Allied Trades Union of Australia as a researcher in 1977 and in 1981 she played a role in establishing an afternoon break for Australian clothing workers.

[2] In 1988 she was an unsuccessful Australian Labor Party candidate for election to parliament in Ku-ring-gai.

Her decision changed expectations as it had been thought that she would lead the resulting 150,000 strong union.

She met Governor-General, Sir William Deane, at the sacred spot of Uluru (Ayer's Rock) and that began the torch's journey in Australia on 8 June.
