My Policies

Every Australian deserves the dignity of financial security and the comfort of knowing tomorrow will be more affordable than today. I will fight for solutions that are fair, responsible, and truly make a difference in people’s daily lives.

Cost of Living: Relief for Families and Households

Every Australian deserves a safe, affordable place to call home—be it in a bustling city or a vibrant regional community. By bringing balance, transparency, and accountability to the housing market, we can secure a future where no one is priced out of the Australian dream.

Housing Crisis: Affordable, Secure Housing for All

Small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeblood of our economy and the heart of our communities. By giving them the tools, support, and opportunities they need to succeed, we build a stronger, more resilient Australia—one where everyone can share in the prosperity.

Support for Small to Medium-Sized Businesses

Victoria’s family violence crisis leaves survivors unsafe, unsupported, and financially trapped. This plan ensures immediate shelter, survivor-focused justice, education, economic freedom, and accountability—creating a safer future for women and children.

Domestic Violence and Violence Against Women: Real Safety, Real Support

Victoria’s survivors of childhood sexual abuse face retraumatising courts, excessive secrecy, and inadequate offender accountability. This plan ensures survivor rights, trauma-informed justice, tougher sentencing, and targeted transparency, restoring voices and protecting children.

CSA Reform: Justice That Protects, Systems That Heal

Australians face a climate crisis harming health and affordability. This plan delivers bold climate action, renewable energy, health protections, and stops fossil fuel expansion—for a safer future.

Climate Action: A Public Health and Economic Imperative

About Me

I’m Dr. Heena Sinha Cheung, your Independent Candidate for Senate in Victoria—an advocate for equality, opportunity, and the unwavering belief that real change starts with each of us.

My story began in Ahmedabad, India, where I faced significant hardship and trauma early in life. Seeking a fresh start, I found a home in Australia, rebuilding my life through persistence and an unshakable determination to succeed. Today, those experiences drive me to speak out for those who feel unheard or overlooked.
