As both a local resident and a Member of Parliament I know that Eltham is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
The State Electorate of Eltham encompasses suburbs with a proud history of community involvement including Briar Hill, Greenhills, Lower Plenty, Montmorency, St Helena and most of Eltham and Research.
As your parliamentary representative, I am here to help you. If you require assistance dealing with the State Government or any of its Departments, or if you are not sure where to take a problem, please don't hesitate to give me a call.
My office and I are always ready to help with any issues you may have, feel free to call me on 9439 1500 or by email at steven.herbert@parliament.vic.gov.au
In an effort to remain accessible to working families and those who cannot find time to visit me during the work week, my office is open on Saturday mornings, from 9am to 12 noon and I am available Thursday evenings by appointment.
If your enquiries relate to my roles as Shadow Minister for Higher Education and Skills and Shadow Minister for the Teaching Profession please contact me on 9439 1500.
This website is updated regularly so please check back regularly for news on what I have been doing.
