Training

The Women Leading Locally program aims to increase the representation of women councillors and mayors in Victoria by supporting 120 women from 30 target municipalities through two Community Leadership and Local Governance fellowships.

This program is an initiative of the Victorian Government delivered by the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) in partnership with Women for Election.

We provide a range of training options designed specifically for social enterprises.

We understand social enterprises. We were one of the first social enterprises in Australia, with our values enshrined in our constitution, which states: "commercial imperatives are afforded equal priority to our social mission, our commitment to employees, and our responsibility to the environment in which we work".

The Victorian Cemetery Trusts Governance and Operational Training Program is designed to help cemetery trusts enhance their governance practices through a program tailored specifically to their needs.

The program provides an introduction into the knowledge and skills you'll need to survive and thrive as a cemetery trust member.

Community Sector Secretaries is a three-session program designed to help secretaries understand their role on the board, and the responsibilities to the board.

The sessions cover the secretary's role in:

• Regulatory and legislative compliance, decision-making and ethical obligations
• Keeping the board on track with responsibilities and timelines
• Supporting inclusion and accessibility and ensuring effective induction and onboarding of new board members.
