Australia’s bird calls form an iconic chorus, but only we can give birds a voice that our local candidates can hear.

Use our candidate tool to contact the candidates in your electorate:
*We are updating our list of candidates as best we can, as candidates are announced in the coming weeks. If you know of any candidates that we are missing, and have their email address, please let us know at conservation@birdlife.org.au

That’s why this election campaign, and beyond, we are calling on candidates across Australia to make clear, firm commitments to delivering the best outcomes for birds.
You can help ensure your local birds are heard, using our local candidate email tool.
