EOIs are closed - what's next? 🧐
We’ve pulled together a panel of a broad cross-section of respected community leaders from across the state electorate of Benambra to review applications.
Their focus is simple: finding someone who will genuinely represent local voices and priorities.

In establishing our EOI process, we reviewed candidate selection approaches from independent movements across Australia and developed a model we believe works best for Benambra.

Transparent. Community-led. Focused on outcomes.

EOIs are now closed - thank you to everyone who applied or shared the opportunity 👏

📝 Next up: a community Selection Panel will shortlist and interview candidates in late April, with a final decision in early May.

🎉 Mid May: we’ll introduce Benambra’s community-backed candidate - and invite you to the launch.

This process is built on what we’ve heard from across the region - and there’ll be ways to get involved in the candidate’s campaign once their campaign kicks off!

Who do you know that actually listens - and shows up for our community? 👀

We’re looking for Benambra’s next independent voice. It might be someone you know… or maybe it’s you.

Rachel is looking for someone who understands what’s happening in our communities. Who will do something about our teacher shortages; who'll think proactively about real actions on climate change, and the energy crisis. Someone who listens.
