The division was created in 1984 and is named for Louisa Margaret Dunkley, a trade unionist and campaigner for equal pay for women.
Despite encompassing the Labor-leaning working-class suburbs of Carrum Downs,,,,, and Seaford, the affluent and heavily conservative suburbs of and helped Dunkley remain a Liberal-held seat from 1996 until 2019.
