CI MPs and Candidates in 2025

More than 1 in 5 voters will have a Community Independent standing

Communities are set to make history again with Community Independents standing in 35 of 150 electorates, across every Australian State and Territory.

There are currently 8 Community Independent MPs and 1 Senator. All will recontest their seat except Kylea Tink in North Sydney due to the electorate being abolished in the AEC’s 2024 redistribution.

To find out more about these candidates, click the electorate names on the map or scroll down.

Community Independents are endorsed by their community and committed to the community compact and a different way of doing politics.

We will continue to update the list in the lead up to the Election.
