Sara Poguet has called Canberra home for over 25 years and is a proud resident of the Inner South. Sara wants to ensure that no one is left behind in her electorate and believes that every voice needs to be heard to strengthen our community and enrich the quality of life for every Canberran.

Sara began volunteering with the well-known and respected RSPCA at a very young age. Then she travelled to volunteer in an orphanage in Bali, assisting with raising, caring for, and educating the children.

Sara has seen firsthand the issues that affect our most vulnerable. Her fierce commitment to community, mental health advocacy, and supporting Canberra's most vulnerable has driven Sara to volunteer her time full-time to run as a candidate for Independents for Canberra.

Sara has extensive background in not-for-profit, community and customer service, leadership and small business. She is also a mother to her 5 year old son, Kai, who is part of the public education system. Sara is focused on using her voice and platform to advocate for change.

What Sara stands for:

• Fostering community bonds through affordable activities and shared spaces that celebrate diversity.
• Prioritising sustainable city development beyond election cycles, safeguarding the wellbeing of current and future generations.
• Involving community members in decision-making while holding ourselves, and others, accountable for promises and spending.
• Leading in climate consciousness, balancing community growth with protecting our land and species.
