Welcome

Welcome to my electoral website! As the federal member for Lingiari, I represent the most interesting and diverse electorate in Australia.  It includes all of the towns and communities in the Northern Territory outside Darwin, as well as Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean.

As the Minister for Indigenous Health, Rural and Regional Health and Regional Services Delivery, I have responsibility for a number of specific Indigenous health and remote area health matters. For more information on my roles and responsibilities, as well as the latest photos and media releases, visit my Ministerial website here.

I'm always looking for new ways to find the issues in which you are interested.  This website is one way that you can communicate with me directly, so that I can better  represent your views and concerns in Canberra.  Visit my have your say page to tell me what you think.

You can also contact my offices in Alice Springs and Darwin, where my staff and I will be happy to help you.

The Hon Warren Snowdon MP
Member for Lingiari
