The Progressive Liberty Party Australia (PLPA), also known as the Progressive Liberty Party is a minor centre-left political movement in Melbourne, Australia. The party is a predominately youth operated organisation that promotes political and environmental awareness.
The PLPA was founded in 2018 by three school students in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne in response to the local communities growing concerns about the environment and inequality. The party has been notably welcoming of people and ideas as its primary philosophy revolves around social and environmental awareness as well as social justice and progressiveness. The party's constitution states “The Party shall aim to represent the values of the next generation of young Australians by promoting and advocating for a climate of tolerance, equality, compassion and understanding.” This Article has long been used to define the party as an alternative to the norm, using the ideals of emotional understanding to improve political understanding.

The parties Chairman Baylin Lipkevicius has been an outspoken opposition to the current Morrison Government saying in a speech at meeting of the Party Cabinet; “We have an underperforming Government who’s primary objective is to benefit themselves, they want success for their party not for their country and that in itself is a recipe for destruction.”
