EQUIP women for Local Government elections in NSW | Workshop Series :: Multiple towns and cities across NSW

Join one of the FREE workshops Women for Election Australia are running, in partnership with the NSW Government, to INSPIRE + EQUIP women to run for the September 2021 NSW local government elections

Across NSW women support their communities in so many ways. From running school P&C’s, building and expanding local businesses, overseeing local sports competitions and community campaigns to co-ordinating drought and bushfire relief for neighbours and local businesses. These leadership skills are highly transferable to local government where your skills can help your entire community.

Have you ever considered running for public office? Local Council is a great place to start! Read the Minister for Local Government, Shelley Hancock’s, article on her journey into politics and why she wants to see more women Councillors across NSW.

Across the country, NSW is the state with the fewest number of female Councillors. We need more women at the table where decisions are being made.

That’s why Women for Election Australia is launching seven workshops across NSW; to provide women with the key knowledge, tools, and techniques to enable them to run for office, be the best candidate they can be or assist another woman with her political campaign. We look forward to helping you get elected!
