The Mayoral Leadership Program is designed to equip mayors and deputy mayors to lead their council, as well as to satisfy the legislative requirements to undertake induction training within one month of election to the role.

The VLGA Mayoral Leadership Program will best prepare Mayors and Deputy Mayors to lead effectively throughout their term, looking at their role and relationships as well as the leadership skills required to ensure good governance.

It is mandatory for Mayors and Deputy Mayors to undertake training at the commencement of each mayoral term. Training must be completed by 31 December 2025. 

While we know mayoral elections won't be finalised until mid-November please register now under your Governance Manager or Mayors and Councillors office to secure your place. Places booking fast.
