What is a Community Independent?

It’s all in the name. Community Independents are members of your community who are committed to doing politics differently to the major parties. 

Community Independents have been changing Australian politics for the better since 2013, by coming from grassroots movements funded by people like you. We do not answer to a political party, big business or lobbyists. We answer, gladly, to the communities that elect us.

Unlike other independents who are usually self-nominated, Community Independent candidates are chosen and endorsed by locals.

Community Independents:

  • genuinely represent their community;
  • reflect the values and views of their electorates;
  • have a mandate from their community that guides their actions;
  • empower their communities to collaborate and actively participate in politics;
  • co-create real political change in WA and Australia with their communities.
