She has been a Labor member of the New South Wales Legislative Council since the 2015 state election.

Houssos was born Courtney Roche in Forster, New South Wales. She was educated at Forster High School.

At university, she entered student politics as a member of the student representative council protesting against university fee reform, and continued in politics as the first female Labor Party organiser for country New South Wales.

In 2014, the New South Wales Labor Party removed Amanda Fazio from the party's upper house ticket at the 2015 state election, and Houssos was preselected to replace her. She was elected as the youngest Labor member of the Legislative Council. In 2021, she sppointed as Shadow Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation in the NSW Minns Shadow Cabinet.

In June 2023, The Daily Telegraph raised concerns over claims of a conflict of interest for Minister Houssos involving her husband, George Houssos, who is employed as a lobbyist for the insurance industry. Houssos and Premier Chris Minns denied that there was a conflict of interest. She was appointed as Minister for Domestic Manufacturing and Government Procurement in September 2023.
