CLC Council Election 2025
Ready to be a strong voice for your community?
The CLC holds elections every three years to renew its council. If you think you could represent your people for the 2025-2028 council term, this is your chance!
Election meetings will be held in remote communities throughout February and March.
Look out for election notices in your community or call 8951 6211 for more information.
Are you eligible to become a CLC member?
To become an elected member you must be an Aboriginal adult and have lived in the area you want to represent for at least five years, or a traditional owner of the area.
If living elsewhere, you must have stayed connected with the community you want to represent, visited regularly and be accepted by the community. The community decides if you meet these criteria, not the CLC.
Individuals may not qualify if they have been to jail or convicted of certain offences in the last two years. More details during the meetings.
Why join Council?
We need more young people. Council members explain how to join the CLC and why it’s important for young people to get involved.
Follow their steps
Michael Jones, our longest-serving council member, says there is one thing you can do to make 2025 a great year for you and your community.
Meeting dates (Subject to change)
People living in the nominating community/area are strongly encouraged to vote. Elected community representatives will officially start as council members on March 21, before our first council meeting in April.
