Building Resilient Regional Leaders Initiative

The Building Resilient Regional Leaders Initiative (Pilot) provides organisations with up to $5 million to support current and emerging regional leaders to further develop their leadership and resilience skills, enabling them to become strong local voices who can help sustain regional Australia’s recovery from COVID-19, bushfires and other crises, and contribute to their region’s long-term resilience.

The program will:

deliver place based leadership training to support current and emerging regional leaders to develop leadership and resilience skills
facilitate the development of networks between current and emerging regional leaders, mentors and other experts where appropriate to help maximise the impacts of the training over the long-term
provide participants with opportunities and techniques to develop deeper connections within their regions.

There is a total of $5 million over two years available for this grant opportunity.

Grants will be from $250,000 to $5 million. The grant amount will be up to 100% of eligible project costs.

You may propose one or more project locations up to a maximum of 10. You will need to demonstrate in your application why the chosen region(s) would benefit from the intended project in your response to assessment criteria.
