Selecting GLaWAC’s Reserved Seat Member on the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria

GLaWAC has a Reserved Seat on the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria – Gellung Warl — and it belongs to our mob.

This is a different position to the General Seats representing the South East on the Assembly.

Gunaikurnai Traditional Owners now have the opportunity to select a Gunaikurnai person to represent GLaWAC and the Gunaikurnai Nation at the Assembly table.

This isn’t just a role — it’s a chance for our community to have a real voice in decisions that matter for Country, culture, and our future.

Interested in Nominating to Serve as the Reserved Seat Holder?

GLaWAC has one Reserved Seat on Gellung Warl’s First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria.

This is a different position to the General Seats representing the South East on the Assembly.

As a formally recognised Traditional Owner Group represented by GLaWAC, the Gunaikurnai People have the right to select a Gunaikurnai person to represent GLaWAC and the Gunaikurnai Nation at the Assembly table.

The Reserved Seat Holder carries the priorities and hopes of GLaWAC members — making sure our voice is heard where it counts.

We’re calling on mob to come together for an important meeting on Monday 20 April 2026 at 5.30pm. At this meeting, Gunaikurnai Traditional Owners will select a Gunaikurnai person to fill that seat.

This meeting will be held online using Zoom. If you are unable to attend online from home, you can visit GLaWAC’s Kalimna West Office or Morwell Office, where a computer will be set up so you can participate online from there.

Nominations to serve as the Reserved Seat Holder close at 9am on Monday 20 April — so if you’re interested in putting your hand up, now is the time.
