About Perth Listens
Listen. Linger. Learn.
Perth Listens is for people across the federal electorate of Perth. We're listening - creating spaces where people meet, talk about what matters, and learn from one another. Because we believe a stronger community voice begins with people having somewhere to be heard.
How we came about
Perth Listens began with a simple belief: communities already hold knowledge, experience and wisdom.
Our story began following an event in Perth, where people came together interested in community participation, political representation and how the people of the Perth electorate might have a stronger voice.

KINDNESS
We listen to understand and seek to reduce harm.
HUMANITY
Every person has equal worth and deserves to be heard.
AUTHENTICITY
We are honest, even when it is uncomfortable.
RIGOUR
We value evidence, science and expertise.
