Goldstein, Federal electoral division in Victoria, Australia.
Goldstein is a federal electoral division covering bayside suburbs of Melbourne, including Brighton, Elsternwick, and parts of Caulfield. The division spans across multiple local council areas and encompasses residential neighborhoods with local shopping and community centers.
The division was created in 1984 from the former Division of Balaclava. It was named after Vida Jane Goldstein, a women's rights advocate who ran for parliament in the early 1900s.
The Division of Goldstein maintains formal recognition of Traditional Owners of the land through its official communications and governmental procedures.
The area is accessible by public transport with tram and bus connections linking the suburbs. Local information centers in Brighton and Elsternwick provide details on services and community facilities available to residents and visitors.
In 2022, the division experienced a significant political shift when an independent candidate won the seat. This marked a break from decades of representation by a single major party.
