Legislative Assembly seats of Albert Park, Ashwood, Bentleigh, Brighton, Caulfield, Hawthorn, Kew, Malvern, Oakleigh, Prahran and Sandringham

The Southern Metropolitan Region takes in an expanse of Melbourne suburbs to the east and south of the city centre, from Kew in the north to Beaumaris in the south, and from Port Melbourne in the west to Clayton in the east. It is mostly middle-class, but includes most of Melbourne's wealthiest areas (Brighton, Kew, Malvern, Toorak), as well as some lower-income areas (mainly around Oakleigh). Of the eleven lower house seats that make up the Region, Labor holds four (Albert Park, Ashwood, Bentleigh and Oakleigh). The other seven are held by the Liberals, mostly by wide margins. The Greens won Prahran in 2022 but lost it in a 2025 by-election.
