Alice Pepper

A proud Gunnai, Yorta Yorta, Mutti Mutti, Gunditjmara and Arrernte woman, lived and worked in Gippsland my whole life, in the Latrobe Valley & East Gippsland areas.

I’m standing for elections again for the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and the new permanent representative body, Gellung Warl. Over the past seven years, I have served two terms as an elected Member, proudly representing the South East Region. Over the years working in community I have remained active, deeply committed to advocating and strengthen the position of the work our communities have fought for over generations.

While on the assembly I have contributed to the Treaty Framework, supported the establishment of the Yoorrook Justice Commission, Treaty Authority, and Self‑Determination Fund, created Additional Pathways to reserve seats for Traditional Owners, Co-Convened Treaty Youth Voice & served 2 terms on the Board of FPAV.

My work is grounded in walking alongside Elders, young people, families, and community organisations, ensuring mob have a strong and respected voice at the State level.

By seeking re‑election, I commit to listening respectfully, working transparently, holding government to account, and always putting community voices first—ensuring Treaty is strength‑based, culturally grounded, and built for future generations.
