Baldivis is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia. It is located in Perth's southern suburbs, and named after the suburb of Baldivis.
Baldivis was created by the Western Australian Electoral Commission in a 2015 redistribution, and will gain its first member at the 2017 state election. It incorporates areas that previously fell into the seats of Kwinana and Warnbro. Baldivis has a notional 6.4-point majority for the Labor Party (based on the results of the 2013 election), and is considered a safe seat for that party.
At the 2017 state election, Baldivis includes the suburb of Bertram in its entirety, and parts of the suburbs of Baldivis, Cooloongup, Leda, Waikiki, and Wellard. It is bounded by Kwinana Freeway to the east.
