About Us

Voices for Canberra is a volunteer not-for-profit group aiming to endorse a Community Independent candidate for the federal electorate of Canberra. We are your neighbours, the people you see at the local shops, at the school gate, and around the neighbourhood. We want better representation in the federal electorate of Canberra. We want to make the electorate of Canberra a champion of Australian politics, where our candidate genuinely represents the aspirations and priorities of the community.

Our aim is to build a grassroots movement for change in Canberra. We are open to participation from people across the political spectrum and representing the full diversity of the electorate. A strong community is needed to find and then endorse an Independent candidate for the next federal election, due to be held in 2025.

We draw inspiration from the success of proACT in endorsing David Pocock in his successful campaign to represent the ACT in the Senate. Many people in Voices for Canberra were part of Senator Pocock’s campaign, and Voices for Canberra collaborates with proACT.

We also acknowledge the work of Voices of Bean in the neighbouring electorate of Bean and we collaborate with them too. Voices for Canberra, proACT and Voices of Bean are all part of the Community Independents movement that is breathing new life into Australian democracy.

If you live in the electorate of Canberra, please join us in forming a strong movement that can effect change. There are opportunities to get involved and to support us in many ways. Please join our mailing list and contact us with any questions.
