Kollross was born on 8 January 1971 in Baden.[1] He studied at a business school in Baden from 1985 to 1986 before training to be an electrician at a vocational school in Stockerau.[1][2] He worked for the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) in Lower Austria from 1994 to 2017, including as District Manager in Baden District (2003 to 2013) and in the state office (2013 to 2017).[3]
Kollross has held various positions in the Socialist Youth Austria (SJ): chairman of the Trumau branch (1989–1992), state chairman in Lower Austria (1993–2001) and federal chairman (2000 to 2004).[2][3] He was a member of the municipal council in Trumau from 1995 to 2003 and the town's mayor since 2013.[2][4] He has been chairman of the Lower Austrian branch of the Austrian Friends of Children , an organisation affiliated to the SPÖ, since 2004.[1][2] He has been chairman of the Baden District branch of the SPÖ since 2016.[1][2] He was elected to the National Council at the 2017 legislative election.[1]
