Online Q&A for women candidates

Tasmanians deserve more women at the decision-making table. Nominations for local government elections across Tasmania close 12pm Monday 21 September. The postal ballot runs 5-27 October and voting is compulsory.

Curious about what being a councillor is actually like? Keen to share your experience with other candidates?

Get real, no-fluff answers from women who have stepped up before.
– How much time does it really take?
– What does the day-to-day look like?
– How do you run a campaign?
– How can we support one another?

Join ALGWA Tas Acting President, Councillor Melinda Reed and member Deputy Mayor Kristi Chapple for an informal hour answering your questions and supporting one another to step up, put our names forward and help shape Tassie’s future. 

Our free, one-hour online Q&A is open to ALGWA Tas members and other women candidates in the 2026 Tasmanian local government elections.
