2024 V4C Community Survey - Now Open!

Have your say now


My Voice. My Community.

The federal electorate of Casey is located in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, including the Dandenong Ranges (the Hills), the bush suburban heartland (the burbs), the Yarra Valley (the farms) and the upper Yarra (the forests). Covering 2,466km² it is a beautiful place for our community to live, work and play.

What is ‘Voices 4 Casey’?

Voices 4 Casey is part of the grassroots movement that has seen Community Independents representing their constituents elected to federal Parliament. Voices 4 Casey was started before the 2022 federal election by like-minded individuals fed up with ‘shouting at the tv’. We are working together to create a parliament filled with representatives of the people who live in their electorates instead of corporate interest groups setting Australia’s agenda. Voices 4 Casey believes that active and engaged communities will improve our democracy and deliver better outcomes for all Australians.

Parliamentarians who are Community Independents in Victoria include Helen Haines (Voices for Indi), Monique Ryan (Voices for Kooyong) and Zoe Daniel (Voices for Goldstein). All have made a significant contribution to Australian politics by getting issues important to their electorates addressed. Helen has been largely responsible for the federal ICAC while also working on improved telecommunication for Indi. Monique has moved amendments which significantly improved climate legislation and consistently calls out breaches of integrity and accountability in Parliament. Zoe is an advocate for mental health reform and humanitarian considerations in global conflicts. Voices 4 Casey wants to achieve the same quality of effective representation for our electorate.

Voices 4 Casey supported Claire Ferres Miles as a Community Independent candidate in the 2022 Federal election who successfully obtained 8.3% of the vote after a short campaign of 10 weeks. We plan on supporting a Community Independent candidate for the 2024/25 Federal election.

Between now and the next election, Voices for Casey will be working hard to understand what matters to you, the people of Casey and what sort of Australia you would like to live in. Your views are important to develop the V4C policy platform which will be the bedrock of the campaign, and which will be taken to federal parliament by our community independent. We invite you to join us and come with us on our journey and participate in developing V4C and creating the future you would like for you and your families.
