We are not a political party — we are a movement of residents who want better.

Canberra Independent Network was founded during the 2025 Federal Election, when a group of community-minded citizens came together with a shared belief: our city deserves better representation. It wasn’t about party politics. It was about people — and putting our community at the heart of decision-making.

Since that election, we’ve been busy turning that belief into action.

Over the past six months, we have hosted 27 community discussions, convened three panels with key interest groups, and met with dozens of local business owners, board representatives, and everyday Canberrans. These conversations have shaped our vision for a stronger, more independent voice for Canberra.

After this extensive engagement process, the community has spoken clearly: Claire Miles is the person to lead this movement forward. Building on her strong campaign and authentic connection with voters, Claire has earned CIN’s endorsement as an Independent candidate for the electorate of Canberra in the next federal election.

If you want to help build this movement and be part of a community that believes in people-powered change, we’d love to hear from you.
