Listening Campaign 2024 🗣️
Since May 2024, Voices for Casey have been working on a campaign to listen to the community and use what we hear to hold our elected representatives to account.
1. Your voice matters.
Gather 1000 survey responses and get 100 attendees to Kitchen Table Conversations. We’ve got 1039 surveys!
2. It will be heard.
Develop a Listening Report based on the survey responses and summary notes from Kitchen Table Conversations. Send the Listening Report to Casey’s elected representatives at every level, ensuring they hear and understand our collective priorities.
3. Hold them to it.
Develop Report Cards for all of Casey’s elected representatives which will look at their previous voting behaviour vs. your priorities to see how they stack up.

Initial Community Survey Summary 2022
In the lead up to Australia’s 2022 Federal Election, 600+ Casey residents shared their thoughts through these first surveys on the Voices for Casey website, and through the website of the Community Independent Candidate, Claire Ferres Miles. As this first data report reveals, top issues identified by Casey’s residents included that they want their concerns to be heard and taken more seriously by decision makers. Key issues affirmed by local residents were climate change, integrity and honesty in politics, fair treatment of women and minorities, and disaster preparedness. Into the future, each of these could potentially be the basis for continued action across the district. Meanwhile, these findings offer a focus for the initial phase of Voices for Casey (V4C).
