Meet Selin
A Mother, Teacher and Community Advocate.
I’m running because I want to leave Australia a better place for my children and for yours.
- Mother of threeThe hopes, challenges and responsibilities of raising a family
- Dedicated teacherGiving every child the support they need to reach their potential
- Melbourne’s northNeighbourhoods where every family has the opportunity to thrive
I’m standing as an independent candidate because I believe our children deserve more than promises. They deserve safe neighbourhoods, accessible healthcare, reliable infrastructure and communities where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
I believe that strong communities begin with strong families, good education and people who genuinely care about one another.
Like many families across Melbourne’s northern suburbs, I want our children to grow up in neighbourhoods where they feel safe, where essential services are accessible and where opportunities are not limited by where they live.
I’m passionate about strengthening our suburban communities, supporting local families and ensuring that population growth is matched by investment in the services people rely on.
My motivation is simple: I want to help build a better future for the next generation.
A Better Future Starts With Our Children
Every decision we make today will shape the Australia our children inherit tomorrow.
As a teacher, I see the potential in young people every day.
As a mother, I understand the responsibility we have to nurture that potential.
Northern Metropolitan Region
My priorities.
Healthcare
Healthcare should be there when our families need it.
I will advocate for
- Better access to local doctors, hospitals and essential healthcare services.
- Reduced waiting times for emergency and specialist care.
- Greater investment in healthcare facilities across Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
- Improved mental health services for children, young people and families.
- Better access to maternal, child and family health services.
Your postcode should never determine the quality of healthcare your family receives.
Transport and Infrastructure
Growing communities deserve infrastructure that keeps up.
I will advocate for
- Better public transport connections and more reliable services.
- Improvements to congested roads and dangerous intersections.
- Stronger investment in local schools, community facilities and public infrastructure.
- Safer walking and cycling connections, particularly around schools.
- Infrastructure planning that keeps pace with population growth.
Our communities should not have to wait decades for the infrastructure they need today.
Crime and Safety
Every child deserves to feel safe. Every family deserves peace of mind.
I will advocate for
- Greater police visibility and responsiveness in local communities.
- Stronger action against violent crime and repeat offending.
- Safer streets, parks, shopping areas and public transport.
- Early intervention, youth engagement and crime prevention programs.
- Better support for victims of crime and families affected by violence.
Keeping our communities safe means protecting families today while investing in a better future for our young people.
Why I’m running as an independent
People First. Community Always.
I believe good decisions should be based on what is best for the community, not simply on political party positions.
