Representing as a Woman

Representing as a Woman is a interview series conducted by Cr Chamonix Terblanche that asks female Elected Members from all across WA about their experiences as an Elected Member. Interviews were conducted with both country and metro Councillors, as each Local Government is very different with unique challenges.

The aim of these videos is to understand the reasons that these women stood for election and to share their experiences in the hope to inspire others to join them in Local Government.
