COMMUNITIES IN ACTION: Strengthening Democracy Together

Join us for the fifth annual CIP Convention for the Community Independents movement.

Hosted online from 5-6 September 2025, this event builds on the success of past Conventions, which have united thousands of community leaders, volunteers, and campaigners nationwide.

This year, the focus is on how communities are leading, innovating, and shaping Australia's future, featuring inspiring MPs, community leaders, and experts.

Attendees will gain inspiration and practical strategies, connect with changemakers across Australia, and witness the real impact of community compacts tackling issues like climate, cost of living, and integrity.

Early bird tickets are now available, offering full online access for individuals or a special 'Watch Party Ticket' for groups who wish to gather in person and collectively stream the Convention.

The Watch Party option not only provides viewing access for a physical location but also includes full access for all party attendees to interact with the online sessions as well as connect and network with others at the Convention.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a movement that empowers communities, strengthens democracy, and drives genuine change from the ground up.

Secure your spot and help build the future of Australian democracy. Early Bird tickets are available until July 31.

Program and speaker details coming soon. In the meantime, check out our program and recordings from Convention 2024 on our website.
