Enhancing councillor capability.
For more than 30 years the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) has been a representative voice for its members, as well as a key provider of training and professional skills development.
Our training focuses on enhancing councillor capabilities and ensuring elected representatives are well equipped to represent their communities.
All of VLGA’s training and professional development programs have strong alignment with the new mandatory training requirements set out in the Local Government (Governance and Integrity) Regulations 2020.
Our programs are designed to inspire and support councils and councillors in good governance and set them up for success. By participating in the VLGA's Professional Development Program, we ensure councillors are proactive learners and are best placed to deliver great outcomes for the communities they represent. The VLGA training programs increase both councillor confidence and competence in their role, help easily identify knowledge gaps and tailor learning opportunities and experiences to the direct learning needs of councillors.
Our program prospectus is available here for councils to plan their ongoing councillor professional development, along with a model Councillor Professional Development Policy which will guide councils across Victoria on how to implement the mandatory requirements in a way that best suits their councillors' learning needs. Content and delivery methods may be customised to meet the needs of your council, but could include workshops, seminars, online modules and immersive events
