What does it involve?

The Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP) is a 15-month program which takes place over five sessions, across Australia and Indonesia.

We take over 30 diverse leaders from across rural, regional and remote Australia, on a series of unique experiences to develop their leadership capabilities.

You will undertake five face-to-face sessions in locations across Australia, including the remote Kimberley region in Western Australia and Indonesia. We provide additional development via flexible learning.

You will develop:

  • your personal effectiveness
  • your understanding of ethics, values and social responsibility
  • your leadership thinking
  • your industry, community and regional engagement
  • ongoing diverse relationships for peer support across sectors and regions

 

You should apply

If you are a leader:

  • from or working for rural, regional and remote Australia
  • with a genuine commitment to the ‘greater good’ of rural, regional and remote Australia.

Scholarships of $55,000 plus GST are provided by our sponsors.

Your contribution is $5,000 plus GST towards program costs and for lifetime membership of the Network of Fellows.

Highlights of the program

Some of the educational highlights include:

  • An experiential component (to build a common, yet novel experience; develop relationships; facilitate problem-solving; take individuals outside their “comfort zone”; facilitate reliance of others as well as self)
  • Real situations (with the group working towards a goal that is of benefit to their organisations, industries and stakeholders more broadly)
  • Critical thinking (builds processes of taking in and assessing information in terms of higher order issues; reflects upon information in terms of diverse interests and needs; sees potential; manages ambiguity and complexity; questions assumptions)
