The Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP) is one of Australia’s most respected and immersive leadership development programs for rural, regional and remote leaders. Delivered over 15 months by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, the program combines experiential learning, face-to-face intensives, online development and project work to build self-awareness, strategic thinking and influence.
ARLP supports participants to:
Deepen their understanding of themselves and their leadership style
Strengthen their ability to navigate complexity and uncertainty
Build powerful cross-sector networks
Drive positive change within their industries and communities
A range of scholarships are available for the cotton, meat, livestock and dairy industries. These scholarships significantly reduce the financial barrier to participation and aim to ensure leaders from diverse backgrounds and regions can access this opportunity.
Participation is competitive, with approximately 30–35 leaders selected per intake. Graduates join a national alumni network of thousands of rural leaders working to shape the future of regional Australia.
