your next! Come join us Women for Election
If you're in Sydney, we have a First Nations workshop on Friday 15/5 and then EQUIP on Saturday 16/5

Our NSW EQUIP workshops kick off this week - have you secured your seat?

EQUIP is a highly practical, politically neutral program designed to give women the real‑world knowledge and skills to campaign at any level of government. From running for office, to managing a campaign, to supporting another woman on her journey - you’ll learn the tools and techniques that matter.

If you’re considering running, already involved in a campaign, or simply want a deeper understanding of Australia’s political process, this workshop is for you.

We need more women like you at the tables where decisions are made.

Join us at one of our May events and take the next step. ✨

Strong campaigns don’t happen by accident - they’re built on strategy, discipline and smart decisions.

On Wednesday 20 May, join Women for Election for a practical Campaign Strategy Masterclass designed for anyone who wants to better understand how modern political campaigns are built, and won.

Darrin will share real‑world insights into campaign messaging, media engagement and strategic positioning - with time for live Q&A.

Whether you’re thinking about running for office, currently campaigning, supporting another woman’s campaign, or simply want sharper insight into campaign strategy, this session will give you clarity and practical tools you can use straight away.

Instead of listening to their moderate base who took their votes (in droves) elsewhere last election, it appears the Federal Liberal Party have learned nothing, doubling down and moving even further to the right in abandoning sensible climate policy - net zero by 2050.

This puts our local NSW State member for Cronulla (and NSW Liberal Leader) Mark Speakman, who strongly upholds net zero by 2050, at odds with our Federal MP for Cook, Simon Kennedy, who has voted consistently against it. One thing’s for sure, this is a party in trouble.

We’re just gonna say it - it’s time for a strong community independent in Cook.

Head to voicesofcook.org and learn more, today.
