Helen Jeges for Gippsland South
Helen lives in the temperate rainforest of the Tarra Valley in Gippsland and works as a Doctor of Paediatric Neuropsychology at one of Gippsland’s largest public hospitals. As a health practitioner, Helen treats her patients, and their families, with respect, compassion, empathy, and kindness; and strongly believes that non-human animals deserve the same fundamental rights.
Helen is a passionate advocate for non-human animals and maintains a cruelty-free lifestyle. She actively participates in campaigns to end greyhound racing, duck shooting, jumps racing, puppy farms and factory farming.
Helen is one of the Executive Producers for the 2018 Australian documentary Dominion; a feature-length film exploring the morality and validity of our dominion over the animal kingdom.
In her role as a candidate for the upcoming State Election, Helen will be speaking up on behalf of the animals we represent to ensure laws and policies are implemented and enforced to achieve genuine justice for animals.

Donate to get Helen elected!
Contesting elections is a costly exercise. We estimate it will cost us a minimum of $5k to cover candidate fees, advertising and printing for Helen's campaign. We'd love to double or triple that to give her the best chance of being elected to represent AJP in the Gippsland South District. Can you chip in to cover some of the costs?
There is a donation cap and disclosure threshold for donations to state election campaigns in Victoria. More information is available on our Political Donations page
