About The Gippsland Monitor

The Gippsland Monitor is a local newsroom dedicated to delivering high-quality news and stories for Gippsland’s diverse communities. Our coverage focuses on the issues that shape life in the region – community, local businesses, lifestyle, and the voices of Gippslanders themselves.

Without reliable, accessible local journalism, community concerns can go unheard, connections to the region weaken, and misinformation spreads more easily. The Gippsland Monitor fills this gap by providing accurate, balanced local news on the issues that matter to our readers – not clickbait headlines, but meaningful stories that reflect Gippsland’s unique identity and values.

We publish all content for free on our website, in our newsletters, and across our social media channels. We invite you to join us – subscribe, follow, read, share, and send us tips about what’s happening in your town or community.

Perhaps you’ll even start contributing to The Gippsland Monitor. You can read our Editorial Policy here.
