About Dickson Decides

Welcome to Dickson Decides!

We are a grassroots movement dedicated to bringing independent, transparent, and community-focused representation to the electorate of Dickson. We are seeking a candidate for the next federal election that will put people above party-politics.

We aim to supercharge community involvement across the electorate building the community movement and raising required funds to attract and support an incredible candidate to represent us in Canberra. We will need a groundswell of support. Are you in?

Our Mission

At Dickson Decides, we believe in the power of independent representation. Our goal is to elect a candidate who is not bound by party lines but instead has the freedom to truly represent the interests of the community. We focus on listening to the community and advocating for the things that matter most to the residents of Dickson.

Why Independent?

Independent candidates are free from the constraints of party politics, allowing them to focus on the needs of their constituents. This independence enables them to drive effective, community-driven governance that truly reflects the will of the people.

Who is our Candidate?

We are currently looking for a candidate that reflects our values. They will engage with the community, attend events, develop policies, and advocate for the issues that matter most to Dickson residents. Integrity, leadership, and a deep understanding of local issues are key qualities we seek.

Our Community and Its Needs

Dickson is a diverse electorate with a mix of urban and semi-rural areas. We are listening to the issues that the community is raising. Infrastructure, healthcare, education, climate action and cost of living are all coming up. We are committed to developing a policy platform with our candidate that reflects the priorities of our community. With a history of being a closely contested seat, we aim to offer a real alternative to the traditional two-party system.

Our Approach to Campaigning

We know the only way to win better representation for Dickson is to build a powerful grassroots campaign. Between now and the federal election we will engage the community to volunteer in activities like door-knocking, community forums, social media outreach, and fundraising events. Consistency in messaging and strong branding are critical, and we provide the necessary tools and training to ensure our volunteers are well-prepared.
