Voices for Forrest has a long history in the electorate. The group got together as early as 2021. In the winter of 2023, a committed group started to organize regular gatherings in the Bunbury library. It was there that the decision was made to follow the example of Voices for Indi: find out what the community wants, and then go and find a community independent representative.

We are an Incorporated Association, and as such we are all volunteers. Most of the work is done by a small core team, with the incredible support of a wonderful crew of committed volunteers. Our circle of contributors and supporters in the community has grown in the past months.

Our supporters are based across the electorate: in Augusta, Margaret River, Witchcliffe, Rosa Brook, Cowaramup, Vasse, Busselton, Dunsborough, Yallingup, Capel, Greater Bunbury, Stratham, Gelorup, Australind, Eaton, Donnybrook, Balingup and Harvey.

We are part of the Community Independents Project network circle. We follow the Indi Way and base our decisions on our Vision, Mission and Values.
